Problem

Smallholder farmers, agribusinesses, and financial institutions across Tanzania often make critical agricultural decisions with limited access to timely, reliable, and location-specific data. This results in inefficient input use, lower productivity, increased exposure to climate risks, limited access to finance, and growing challenges around supply chain traceability and compliance.

Solution

Rada 360 offers digital platforms, Rada Agriculture and Rada Forest, which leverage satellite imagery and AI to provide agricultural monitoring, forest monitoring, and climate intelligence. Its solutions help farmers monitor crop health, optimize fertilizer application through recommendation maps, access historical weather data and forecasts, and monitor flood and drought risks. The company also provides deforestation tracking and supports farmers with financial access. For financial institutions such as banks and insurers, Rada 360 provides farm-level climate intelligence to support risk assessment and enable more informed and confident decision making.

Impact

Rada 360 delivers actionable insights that help farmers optimize the timing of field operations and fertilizer application, control pests and diseases in a timely manner, and take precautionary measures to shield crops from drought and flooding . Beyond strengthening climate resilience, its services drive more efficient agro-chemical use and curb on-farm losses by averting crop failure, thereby cutting agricultural GHG emissions. By enabling agribusinesses and exporters to monitor their supplying farmers' cropping activities, Rada 360 also helps curb agri-deforestation and unlocks access to markets with stringent deforestation and traceability regulations, such as the EU.
