Scan Nutrients. Get Answers. Act Fast. AgroCares’ Nutrient Scanner is a field-ready solution for rapid soil and crop nutrient testing. The handheld device provides instant results through a smartphone app, enabling extension officers to deliver timely, data-driven fertilizer recommendations. It reduces dependency on distant laboratories and supports national goals on soil health, productivity, and climate-smart agriculture. Governments can integrate the scanner into public advisory programs, subsidy targeting, or soil mapping efforts to reach more farmers with less cost.
Low-cost hygienic drying technology for high-quality products The Solar Bubble Dryer (ISD) is a mobile, solar-powered drying system designed to efficiently dry freshly harvested cassava roots, reducing post-harvest losses and improving product quality. It utilizes solar energy for both thermal collection to speed up drying and electricity to power a blower for air circulation, making it independent from the power grid. The system is mobile, allowing farmers to dry produce near the harvest site, minimizing transportation costs and spoilage risks. With a drying capacity of 90-145 kg per cycle, the technology boosts food security, supports women’s empowerment, reduces carbon footprints, and promotes sustainable practices. It has a 10-year lifespan, an initial cost of $1,800, and offers a return on investment ranging from 7% to 180%. The technology contributes to multiple SDGs, including those related to hunger, gender equality, clean energy, economic growth, and climate action.
