Satellite monitoring, mandi-linked pricing, and pest alerts aim to reshape farm decision-making

Avi Polymers, a specialty chemicals and polymer manufacturer, has announced its entry into the agritech space with the launch of its AI-powered platform, KrishiBuddy, aimed at delivering actionable agricultural insights to farmers.

The platform integrates satellite-based crop monitoring, a profitability calculator using live mandi prices, and real-time pest and disease alerts, enabling farmers to make more informed and timely decisions. By combining data intelligence with ease of use, the platform is designed to bridge critical information gaps in Indian agriculture.

The launch marks a strategic diversification for Avi Polymers into the fast-growing agritech segment and reflects its focus on building innovation-led, farmer-centric solutions. The initiative is aligned with a broader vision of transforming how agricultural intelligence is accessed and applied at the grassroots level, particularly at a time when data-driven decision-making is becoming central to farm productivity and sustainability.

Going forward, the company plans to strengthen the platform with IoT-enabled solutions and deeper integration with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), aimed at creating a more connected, efficient, and globally competitive agricultural ecosystem.

With this move, Avi Polymers joins a growing cohort of companies leveraging AI and digital technologies to reshape India’s farm economy, positioning itself at the intersection of agriculture and advanced analytics.
