Turning farm data into tomorrow’s decisions
CropVane brings soil analysis, climate data and agronomic knowledge together in a single conversation. Farmers ask in their own words and get a data-driven answer specific to their field.
The problem
Critical farming decisions still rely on guesswork
What to plant, when to irrigate, what the soil needs… The answers exist in data, but that data rarely reaches the farmer.
Data is scattered and technical
Soil analyses, weather forecasts and agronomic knowledge live in separate places, often in technical language and disconnected from each other.
Crops are chosen by habit
When soil and climate signals are not part of the decision, the wrong crop choice turns into lost yield and income.
Expert access is limited
Reaching an agronomist exactly when needed is not always possible, so the right information arrives too late.

The solution
Four powerful capabilities, one conversation
CropVane picks the right data source for each question on its own and combines the results in plain language.
Location-specific soil analysis
Key soil properties for the field’s coordinates: pH, organic carbon, texture, water capacity and nutrient capacity.
Agricultural weather & climate
Forecasts up to 16 days, soil moisture and temperature, evapotranspiration and rainfall for field planning.
AI crop recommendations
A machine learning model that evaluates soil and climate together to suggest crops suited to the region.
Sourced knowledge base
Answers on organic farming, fertilization and disease management drawn from academic and practical sources.
How it works
From question to recommendation in four steps
The farmer simply asks. Data collection, analysis and interpretation run automatically in the background.
01
Ask your question
In natural language: “What should I plant in this field?”, “Should I irrigate this week?”
02
Your location is analyzed
Soil properties and up-to-date climate data for your field’s coordinates are retrieved automatically.
03
AI combines the data
The right tools are selected for the question: soil analysis, climate data, the crop model and the knowledge base.
04
Actionable recommendation
A clear answer tailored to your field, presented together with its sources.
Why CropVane
Built in Türkiye, for Türkiye’s soil
Unlike general-purpose chatbots, CropVane grounds its answers in real soil and climate data.
Proprietary dataset
A dataset we built from scratch, matching soil and climate data across Türkiye with regional crop patterns.
Conversational by design
No menus, forms or technical knowledge needed. Farmers ask in their own words.
Location-specific answers
Recommendations based on the soil and climate data at the field’s exact location instead of generic advice.
Sourced information
Knowledge base answers are grounded in academic and practical documents, and sources are shown with each answer.

Market
A growing agricultural economy, evolving digital solutions
The digitalization of agriculture is creating new opportunities for data analytics, AI and precision farming technologies.
Global digital agriculture market
~11% annual growth (calculated from source figures)Market size figures are estimates by research firms and their scopes may differ. Türkiye’s agricultural value added indicates the economic scale of the sector, not the size of the digital agriculture software market.
