Thinking of companies technologically shaping our societies through agriculture? Complete Farmer should definitely come to mind and with good reason too.

Complete Farmer was established in 2017 and since then, has successfully cultivated over 4000 acres of farms and shipped over five different crop commodities to global industries, meeting strict international requirements to achieve this feat. All this has been possible thanks to our use of innovative technologies and processes in our crop production, some of which include customised crop orders, usage of experimental fields, data-driven cultivation protocols, and usage of third party renowned auditors.

Complete Farmer conducts research and collects cultivation data, using sensors, satellite and other technologies in generating cultivation methods to enable us to grow to meet the specifications of industries. This is what agronomists refer to as protocols.

These protocols are derived through the utilization of an experimental field where new fertilizers are tested to see how they affect specific crops, crop variety trials are conducted, elements in specific soils are traced, a crop or chemical response to the environment is determined, and any production challenge is tested before being implemented on the actual field.

We also get these data-driven cultivation protocols through IoT sensors, satellites, expert agronomy consulting, previous field production experience, well-researched literature, and in-house experts. IoT sensors are used to record data like temperature, rainfall patterns, humidity, wind direction, and wind speed, while real-time feeds such as crop chlorophyll content, weather parameters, and soil moisture are captured using a satellite. Crops, grown on our platform follow these data-driven cultivation protocols to ensure that the harvested produce is of the utmost quality.

All of this enables us to make informed production decisions for specific crops, ensuring that our precision farming produces the expected output. During production, tests are carried out at each stage to ensure that the required parameters, such as color, oil content, and soil moisture, and other specifications are met as planned.

At Complete Farmer, we strictly adhere to all of these and other customizable specifications in order to meet the needs of our buyers. This enables us to sell to buyers all over the world and meet international certifications and standards.

And that’s not all. We also allow third-party renowned auditors to perform quality control and yield report checks such as nutrient content, weight, purity, and others, against buyer requirements, to ensure that all of these protocols are up to standard as we have implemented them.

For any commodity buyer on the planet, this ensures the highest level of quality assurance, which is achieved with our continuously innovative operational processes.
