AgriTech

IoT, drone & sensor providers

You equip farms with the sensors, weather stations and drones that turn field observation into data for better decisions.

Definition in the architecture : Sensors, weather stations, mapping drones and connected devices for farm monitoring

Your activities

What you do

  • Supply and install soil, moisture and temperature sensors on plots
  • Deploy connected weather stations serving farmers and cooperatives
  • Carry out drone mapping for plot boundaries, crop monitoring and land records
  • Set up remote monitoring of livestock buildings, greenhouses and storage facilities
  • Provide maintenance, calibration and user training for the equipment
Your role in the value chain

You sit at the start of the digital chain: your devices capture the field data that software providers and integrators turn into management tools. You deliver to farmers, plantations, livestock keepers and irrigation-scheme managers information on weather, soils, crop condition and buildings. You secure decisions on irrigation, fertilisation and crop protection, and you unlock reliable plot mapping that serves both traceability and land tenure. Your equipment is what makes every downstream data service credible.

Where are you found?

These providers are usually based in Yaoundé or Douala and travel out to the production basins. Their work concentrates on the plantations of the Littoral and South-West, the Western Highlands, the irrigation schemes of the North and Far North and the grazing areas of Adamawa. They operate nationwide on request.

Your place in the ecosystem

Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa

In a country of contrasting climates, from the humid coast to the Sudano-Sahelian zone, detailed knowledge of local conditions drives yields. IoT, drone and sensor providers bring to Cameroonian farms measurement tools once reserved for large estates. They support adaptation to climate change, more rational use of inputs and lower losses. Drone mapping makes it easier to delineate plots as required by buyers and traceability regimes, while helping to secure land rights. These actors are part of the emergence of a precision agriculture suited to Central Africa and to family farming.

Networking challenges and opportunities
  • Feeding reliable data to traceability platforms and export-compliance regimes
  • Designing offers that cooperatives and mid-sized farms can afford
  • Working with software providers and integrators to deliver complete solutions
  • Ensuring equipment withstands heat, humidity and intermittent power
Why be listed

What the directory brings to your organisation

Visibility across the value chain

Your listing makes you visible to the plantations, cooperatives and irrigation schemes that want to instrument their plots.

Access to partnership opportunities

You gain access to precision-agriculture projects, climate-adaptation programmes and software providers looking for hardware partners.

Integration into the regional ecosystem

You take your place in the Central African AgriTech ecosystem alongside the actors building the data layer of the Produce – Process – Export chain.

Join the XP-NOVA directory

Your listing in three steps

The directory is not a mere listing: each profile is positioned within the architecture (sub-domain, actor, value chain), checked by XP-NOVA, then published. You keep control of your profile after publication.

  1. The form

    You enter your organisation, your position in the architecture — pre-filled from this page —, your value chains, your area of operation and your contact details. Your profile is created as pending and you receive your access.

    Start my registration
  2. Verification by XP-NOVA

    The XP-NOVA team reviews your profile: consistency of the position in the architecture, reality of the declared activity, completeness of the information. If there is a reservation, the reason is sent to you and you can complete.

  3. Validation and publication

    Once validated, your profile is published in the directory available to members, under your actor code. You update it from your area: contact details, logo, capacities, description.
