Background

SHUFOLA is a highly localized agriculture advisory service that combines crop management practice with weather condition. Based on their crop, variety, growth stage and weather condition, farmers receive customized and actionable advisory via SMS and Voice Message in local dialect to basic phones. For observed weather data Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) are used and for forecast data Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) output is used. mPower partnered with Save Earth Climate Services (SECS) for providing this AgroMet service.
