# AgriIntel Africa — Product Requirements Document **Challenge:** OPay & Google National Innovation Challenge 2026 — AgriTech Track **Prepared by:** Naajih Siraj **Version:** 1.0 **Date:** June 5, 2026 --- ## 1. Executive Summary **AgriIntel Africa** is an AI-powered farming intelligence platform that gives African smallholder farmers access to expert-level advice they currently have no access to.

She doesn't know the tomatoes will rot in 3 days before she arrives. - A farmer in Katsina applies for a bank loan. The bank rejects him because he has no formal credit history — even though he has repaid his cooperative loan 12 times consecutively. - A farmer in Dodoma, Tanzania plants his sorghum on the traditional date. He doesn't know the rains are coming 9 days late this year and his crop has a 40% chance of failing. These are not small problems. They are the difference between feeding a family and losing everything. **The core issue:** Farmers have land, labour, and the will to farm. What they lack is information. AgriIntel Africa is the information layer that was missing. --- ## 3. What We Are Building AgriIntel A …
