About us
We help farmers stop guessing.
Most farm decisions are still made on habit and hope — watering because it is Tuesday, fertilising because it is that time of year, finding out a block was thirsty only when the yield comes in short.
Who we are
SmartFarmer is the smart-farming service of Kynext, built by Lynmercan Enterprise Ltd in Nairobi, Kenya. We fit small, solar-powered devices around your farm that measure what is actually happening, and send it to a screen you can read in under a minute.
We design and build our own circuit boards, firmware and software. That matters to you for one reason: when something needs fixing or changing, it is the same team, and it gets done.
We also build the farm itself where it is not ready yet — water, storage, irrigation layout and solar power — and we survey and map soil for farms that simply want to know what they own.
The promise is simple: you should never be surprised by your own farm.
Why SmartFarmer
What we hold ourselves to
We build it ourselves
We make the equipment and the software, so there is nobody else to blame and nobody else to wait for. When something needs fixing or changing, it is the same team, and it gets done.
We fix, not just report
We do not only tell you there is a problem. We can map it, then feed, spray or irrigate the fix automatically.
We meet a farm where it is
Bare land, an existing manual system, or anything in between. Nothing working gets torn out.
Built for here
Sun for power, patchy network, dust, rain, and long distances between blocks.
Honest data
If a sensor has not reported, it says so. It will never show you a comfortable number that is not real.
Start small
One block, one shed. Add more once you have seen it work.
Local people, local support
And a growing network of farms that make each other’s data more useful.
Start with a walk around your farm.
The first conversation is a site visit: we walk the farm with you and understand what you grow or keep and what is going wrong. No cost, no commitment. Buy outright, lease, or pay as you go by M-Pesa.
