Write two or three sentences here about who you are and why you started this. Where you're from, your background with farming, what made you look at this problem. Keep it personal and short.

I lead the project and build the technology. The agronomic side is guided by our advisor at the National Institute of Agriculture.

Building the first prototype.

What we're building

"Zamin" is a tool that helps farmers in Tajikistan decide what to plant next, which fertilizer to use, and how to irrigate based on their own land and crop history, in their own language.

The first version is a Telegram bot. It asks a farmer about his region, what he planted and for how many years, which fertilizer he uses, and how much he harvested. From that it diagnoses what the soil is likely missing and gives back three things: a fertilizer correction, a crop suggestion aligned with market demand, and an irrigation schedule.

It is a working prototype, not a finished product. We are validating the agronomy with the National Institute of Agriculture before piloting with farmers.

Progress

Where we are now

Done
Market research in Dushanbe: prices, imports, supply gaps
Done
Interviews at the National Agronomic Academy, National Academy of Soil and National Institute of Agriculture
Done
Working on implememening AI platforms that advice farmers in Tajikistan
In progress
Validating recommendations with agronomists
Next
Pilot with farmers in the Hisor region

What we want to achieve

1
Help farmers increase yield on the land they already have, by preserring their soil.
2
Reduce soil exhaustion by making crop rotation and correct fertilizer use practical.
3
Deliver agronomic knowledge in Tajik.
