Flexify Solutions Launches CyberAgric: A Mobile App Empowering Nigerian Farmers

May 2024

In recognition of the pivotal role of information technology (IT) in modern agricultural practices, Flexify Solutions Limited, a tech-based firm, has introduced 'CyberAgric,' an innovative solution aimed at bolstering food production in Nigeria.

CyberAgric, a cutting-edge mobile application, harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) to support Nigerian farmers, particularly those engaged in cash crop cultivation such as cassava and maize. Among its groundbreaking features is early disease detection, with the capability to identify diseases like Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in cassava leaves within the first two weeks of infection.

Utilizing smartphone cameras, farmers can capture images of their crops and receive real-time analysis and recommendations, enabling them to take proactive measures to safeguard their crops and ensure optimal yields. Notably, CyberAgric is designed to function offline, ensuring accessibility for farmers in remote areas with limited internet connectivity.

Johnson Oyeniyi, CEO of Flexify Solutions, emphasized the app's accessibility and educational value, stating, "Our goal with CyberAgric is to ensure that every Nigerian farmer, regardless of their location or internet access, can benefit from advanced agricultural technology."

Beyond disease detection, the app serves as an educational platform, providing farmers with the latest agricultural best practices and expert resources. Flexify Solutions collaborated closely with Cybermate Technologies to tailor CyberAgric to the specific needs of Nigerian farmers. Initially focusing on cassava and maize cultivation, the app addresses critical challenges faced by farmers in these sectors.

Through advanced AI-driven disease detection capabilities, CyberAgric aims to mitigate the impact of crop diseases and enhance food security in Nigeria.

Flexify Solutions, a global company specializing in disruptive digital solutions, has a strong focus on innovation. With a proven track record in mobile app development, the company seamlessly integrates cutting-edge AI technologies to create intelligent solutions that resonate with users and drive success.

CyberAgric represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to empower Nigerian farmers and address key challenges in the agricultural sector. As the app continues to evolve, it is poised to make a tangible impact on food production and security in Nigeria.
