📅
Season planner
Pick a crop + your acreage + a planting date. Panda lays out the full activity timeline + scaled input list (seed, fertiliser, sprays). Inspired by JICA SHEP PLUS.
Pilot — Meru & Kirinyaga, 2026
Plan your season. Log every shilling. Walk into the bank with a real report.
A Kenyan-built planning + logging tool for horticulture farms. Inspired by SHEP PLUS. Works offline. Bilingual English / Kiswahili. Sister product to Shira.
What Panda does for a horticulture farmer
Eight things, all designed for the realities of farming in Kenya: offline, bilingual, low-data, low-cost.
💸
Costs + harvests log
Tap once after every spend or pick. End of season: a lender-grade PDF with every shilling in and every kilo out. Paper notebooks gone.
📷
Disease scan (mock today, AI tomorrow)
Snap a leaf, get a diagnosis + a list of PCPB-registered treatments. Currently a deterministic mock; flips to Crop.health AI when the pilot starts.
🗺️
Dealer map
30 verified Kenyan agro-dealers across 14 counties (Elgon Kenya, ETG, Juanco, Twiga). GPS-sorted by your farm location.
📈
12-month price intelligence
Local market prices for the 5 MVP crops, updated weekly. See seasonal swings, plan your harvest week, and stop selling at the wrong price.
📶
Works without internet
Forms save offline. Sync when you reconnect. Built for the realities of fibre cuts and 3G zones in rural Meru and Kirinyaga.
🇰🇪
Bilingual (EN + SW)
Every farmer-facing screen ships in English and Kiswahili. Native-speaker reviewed. No machine translation.
🤝
Sister to Shira
Shares Shira's identity, infrastructure, and operational discipline. Your livestock farmer can use Shira; your tomato farmer can use Panda.
One season at a time. One crop at a time.
Panda starts narrow on purpose: tomato in Meru and Kirinyaga, with a single tested workflow — plan a season, follow the timeline, log costs and harvests, walk away with a lender-ready PDF.
16 more crops follow, each with agronomist sign-off. We expand by evidence, not by hype.
