In Tanzania, there is a shortage of agricultural extension officers. Imagine for Tanzania as an example, 7,000 extension officers to serve a population of over 30 million farmers. This means that each extension officer is responsible for an average of more than 4,000 farmers.

This shortage of extension officers makes it difficult for farmers to get the help they need to improve their productivity and profitability. Farmers often have to travel long distances to reach an extension officer, and they may not be able to get the advice they need in a timely manner.

MazaoHub is a cloud-based platform that provides agricultural extension services through artificial intelligence (AI). AI-powered extension agents can provide farmers with tailored advice on crop management, pest control, and other agricultural topics.

How MazaoHub works for agricultural extension officers

MazaoHub uses a variety of data sources to provide extension officers with a comprehensive view of their farmers' needs. This data includes:

  • Field mapping and land identification: MazaoHub uses satellite imagery and GPS technology to create detailed maps of farmers' fields. These maps can be used to identify land boundaries, track changes in land use over time, and plan crop rotations.
  • Soil analysis and recommendations: MazaoHub provides extension officers with personalized soil analysis and recommendations based on their farmers' specific soil conditions. These recommendations can help extension officers optimize their fertilizer and nutrient applications, improve crop yields, and reduce the risk of crop damage.
  • Cost analysis: MazaoHub provides extension officers with detailed cost analysis reports that track their farmers' expenses throughout the cropping cycle. These reports can help extension officers identify areas where their farmers can reduce costs and improve their bottom line.
  • Traceability: MazaoHub uses blockchain technology to track the movement of agricultural products from farm to market. This traceability information can help extension officers connect with buyers, ensure the quality of their farmers' products, and prevent fraud.
