From coordinates to better decisions

  • Soil property estimates for a farm location
  • Crop planning and soil-health interpretation
  • Market context from public datasets
  • Designed for assisted and voice-led access
How it works

One digital companion for farm decisions

FarmVox Africa is being developed as an audio-first, offline-aware agricultural support platform. The tools below demonstrate coordinate-based soil estimates and links to trusted market datasets; they do not replace laboratory tests or verified local market quotations.

01

Soil intelligence

Enter latitude and longitude to retrieve gridded soil-property estimates where the SoilGrids service has coverage.

02

Market intelligence

Explore World Bank food-price estimates for Cameroon and global commodity benchmarks to understand market context.

03

Farm guidance

Use results as a starting point for crop planning, soil sampling and conversations with an extension officer.

04

Inclusive access

The longer-term product direction includes voice-first guidance, multilingual support and workflows adapted for limited connectivity.

Coordinate-based soil explorer

Check estimated soil properties for your farm

Enter the coordinates of your farm. SoilGrids provides modelled estimates at approximately 250 m grid resolution and multiple soil depths. Results depend on data coverage and can differ from conditions in a particular field.

Tip: use the coordinates shown by your phone map. Latitude comes first, then longitude.

YOUR LOCATION REPORT

Soil profile

Modelled estimates

Your soil-property results will appear here after you submit coordinates.

Important: this is not a full laboratory soil analysis. Nutrient availability, farm-specific variability and fertilizer recommendations require representative soil sampling and, where possible, a laboratory test. Do not apply fertilizer based only on this estimate.

Market intelligence · Public data

Understand market trends before you sell

FarmVox Africa links to World Bank data sources to help farmers and producer groups compare market context. These datasets have different coverage and should not be treated as today's guaranteed farm-gate price.

CMR

Cameroon food-price estimates

World Bank Microdata Library dataset covering monthly modelled food-price estimates by product and market in Cameroon, including a long historical series. Availability and market/product fields vary by dataset release.

WB

Global commodity benchmarks

The World Bank Commodity Markets “Pink Sheet” publishes monthly and historical prices for major internationally traded commodities. Use it for broad trend context, not as a local retail price list.

API

Open development indicators

World Bank Open Data offers country indicators on agriculture and development. These indicators complement food-price observations but are not substitutes for product-level market quotations.

How FarmVox should use this data: show source, unit, market, product and observation date wherever available; distinguish modelled estimates from observed prices; and ask local cooperatives to confirm current buying prices, transport costs and quality specifications.
A practical next step

Turn data into a farm decision.

Use coordinate estimates to guide where to sample, then combine laboratory results, local weather, crop history and market information before making major input or planting decisions.
