Technology farmers actually adopt. In their own language.

Production platforms for agriculture, built the way farmers actually work. Storefronts, public markets, farmer identity, and B2B networks, delivered natively in the local language so the barrier to adoption is removed, not translated over.

Krishok, in production
[WHAT WE LEARNED BUILDING KRISHOK]

Three reasons agritech fails to land.

We built Krishok, a farmer marketplace and network in production in Bangladesh. The lessons about adoption repeated across every feature.

The fix is not a smarter app. It is meeting the farmer on their terms: their language, their workflow, and an identity they can trust.

PAIN · 0101 / 03

The language barrier is the adoption barrier.

An app built in English and translated later still assumes a foreign workflow. Farmers do not adopt software that makes them meet it halfway.

↓ How we fix it, below.
PAIN · 0202 / 03

E-commerce assumptions do not fit a farm.

Email addresses, card checkout, and a Western storefront model do not match how a farmer sells or who they sell to. The mental model has to be rebuilt, not ported.

↓ How we fix it, below.
PAIN · 0303 / 03

Trust needs an identity layer.

Beyond the village, a farmer has no way to prove who they are to a buyer. Without identity, B2B relationships stay stuck with whoever you already know.

↓ How we fix it, below.

We'll remove the barrier.

Engagements built for low-bandwidth phones and native-language use, the way Krishok runs in production. Bundle two when the problem warrants.

SERVICE · 01 / 06Shopify for the field
Farmer storefronts

A storefront each farmer owns, to list what they grow, priced and presented in their language.

  • Self-serve listings in native language
  • Photo-first, low-literacy friendly
  • Owned by the farmer, not a middleman
React NativeTypeScriptCloudflare R2
SERVICE · 02 / 06Beyond the village

  • Direct farmer-to-buyer, fewer middlemen
Next.jsPostgresOpenSearch
SERVICE · 03 / 06Identity you can trust
Farmer ID

A real platform identity, so farmers and buyers can trust who they are dealing with.

  • Verified farmer profiles
  • Reputation earned from real activity
  • The basis for every B2B relationship
TypeScriptPostgresZod
SERVICE · 04 / 06Relationships at scale
B2B network

A network layer so farmers can find each other, coordinate, and build B2B relationships that used to depend on proximity.

  • Farmer-to-farmer messaging
  • Group coordination and buying
  • B2B discovery beyond the village
React NativeRealtimeFCM
SERVICE · 05 / 06Meet the user where they are
Native-language AI

AI support and tooling in the local language, so the assistant speaks the way the farmer thinks.

  • Bangla-first assistance, not translated
  • Voice-friendly for low literacy
  • Evaluated on real dialect, not textbook

SERVICE · 06 / 06Pre-build wedge
Adoption and rollout review

A one-week review of an agritech product's adoption blockers: language, workflow, identity, and trust, named in writing before a line ships.

  • Language and literacy fit scored
  • Workflow-vs-e-commerce gap mapped
  • Trust and identity model reviewed
ADRsField researchTypeScript

Most engagements bundle two: the surface a farmer sells on (01, 02) paired with the trust that makes it work at scale (03, 04). Bring the shape closest to your blocker.
