Agrometa LLC

We started Agrometa in 2022, and since then, we’ve been providing drone fertilizing services to Georgian farmers. After working with hundreds of farmers and engaging in close conversations, we identified a critical need: farmers often lack visibility into the health of their crops, especially across large fields. As a result, they struggle to detect issues and take timely action. Without awareness of problem areas, they may apply incorrect agricultural measures, potentially causing further damage.
Our solution is SMART FARMER - an AI powered software, that analyzes drone-generated data to deliver detailed crop health insights and actionable recommendations. It helps farmers:
• Optimize crop management
• Reduce pesticide usage
• Boost overall productivity
