Satellite precision. AI agronomy. Delivered directly to WhatsApp.

14M Latin American smallholders lack precision ag. Existing tech requires expensive hardware or GIS skillsβnone of which fit their reality. We change that by turning satellite data and GenAI into actionable insights delivered via WhatsApp. No apps, no new hardware; just high-tech farming.
We combine ESA Sentinels, Google Earth Engine, and Gemini AI into one seamless brain.
We merge Optical (Sentinel-2) and Radar (Sentinel-1) imagery to see through clouds. No blind spots, ever.
Detect "Veranillo" drought stress weeks before visible signs. Optimize irrigation schedules.
Get spray windows, irrigation outlook, and frost/heat alerts. Plan fieldwork around the forecast.
Automatic flood detection and erosion risk modeling using terrain slope analysis.
Don't walk the whole field. We generate zoning heatmaps so you know exactly where to inspect.
Validate satellite findings on the ground. Upload photos to calibrate the AI for your specific micro-climate.
Plants talk to us through light. We decode the signal.
Standard for biomass and vigor. Monitors general plant health and growth curves.
How it works: We measure the chlorophyll in
your plants.
Why it matters: This index (NDVI) is the global
standard for tracking biomass development. It tells you if your crop is growing as expected
or falling behind.
Essential for dense canopies where standard indices saturate. Detects late-stage stress.
How it works: We use the "Red Edge" band, a
specific light wavelength that penetrates deeper into the canopy.
Why it
matters: When your crop is fully grown, normal cameras can't see issues. Our
Red-Edge sensor detects Nitrogen deficiencies and localized disease outbreaks (like Rust)
before they spread.
Real-time Water Content. Detects drought stress (Veranillo) before it's visible to the eye.
How it works: We measure the water content
inside the leaves using Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR).
Why it matters:
Plants lose water internally before they wilt visually. We alert you days in advance so you
can irrigate or adjust your harvest plan.
Prevent soil loss. Identification of vulnerable zones based on terrain and rainfall.
How it works: We combine 3D terrain models
with historical rainfall data.
Why it matters: Heavy rains can wash
away your topsoil. We identify the exact slopes that need barriers or cover crops to protect
your land for future generations.
We compare the images of your field day by day and will inform you if the health of your crop suddenly drops.
We don't just look at the past few months. We compare the average with the same month for the past 5 years for a true long-term comparison.
We will continuously spot for particular hotspots in your field to detect localized infestations or erosion early on.
No apps to download. No complex GIS coordinates. Register your field in seconds through a simple chat interaction.
Detect "Mid-summer dry spell" stress up to 2 weeks sooner than the human eye.
Identify Rust and fungus hotspots using proprietary Red-Edge indices.
Monitor crop development using 5-year historical benchmarks.
Technology should not leave the small farmer behind.
Over 14 million smallholder farmers across Latin America lack access to precision agriculture. Existing solutions demand expensive hardware, GIS expertise, or dedicated apps β none of which match the reality of a farmer with a basic smartphone and a WhatsApp account.
Arandu delivers satellite-powered agronomic intelligence directly through WhatsApp. Farmers register their fields by simply sharing a location pin; our AI automatically detects field boundaries and begins monitoring. From that moment, they receive actionable insights derived from ESA Copernicus satellite data β fusing optical and radar imagery to ensure reliable, cloud-free analysis even in tropical climates.
Through a natural-language conversation, farmers can check crop health, monitor water stress, assess erosion and flood risk, and receive weather-based recommendations for spraying, irrigation, and frost protection. Photo uploads enable AI-driven disease identification on the spot. The platform supports six languages, including Guarani β the native language of rural Paraguay.
Making European space infrastructure operationally accessible to users who have never heard of remote sensing. No installation, no training, no complexity β just a WhatsApp message away.
Arandu was born from a simple belief: Technology should not leave the small farmer behind.
Headquartered in Zurich, developed for the red soils of Paraguay. We bridge the gap between advanced agronomic precision tools and the everyday reality of the producer.
