About us

ShambaDoctor KE

Practical farming information, closer to your shamba.

ShambaDoctor KE is an AI-powered farm assistant helping farmers identify crop problems, access practical farming guidance, and make informed decisions.

Built for farmers in Kenya

ShambaDoctor KE is designed for Kenyan smallholder farmers, crop growers and livestock keepers who need accessible information about their farms. It brings crop, soil and animal guidance together in a mobile-friendly website.

A damaged leaf, uncertain soil fertility or a sick animal can leave a farmer unsure what to do next. The app helps you explore possible causes and prepare better-informed questions for an agricultural professional.
