GoviHub
Connecting Sri Lankan farmers directly to buyers — plan, grow, sell smarter.
Sri Lanka's agricultural sector loses enormous value to post-harvest inefficiency and middlemen margins. Farmers lack direct market access; buyers struggle to find reliable suppliers.
GoviHub connects farmers directly to qualified buyers before harvest, eliminating middlemen and reducing waste through AI-powered matching and real-time guidance.
AI connects farmer harvests to buyer demand before harvest, scoring farmer-buyer pairs by crop type, location, date window, quantity, and reliability.

Marketplace for equipment, fertilizer, and agricultural inputs. Direct access to seed, tools, and resources for year-round farming.
Create account, add farm details, location, and crop portfolio.
Declare upcoming harvest 2–4 weeks before pickup date with quantity and quality specs.
AI engine matches with interested buyers. Receive multiple offers from verified buyers.
Access real-time disease detection, price alerts, and Sinhala-language advisory.
Specify crop type, quantity, delivery window, and quality requirements.

Bulk sourcing with compliance and traceability.
Schools, hospitals, corporate cafeterias needing reliable supply.
Proprietary matching algorithm scores farmer-buyer pairs by:
Starts rules-based (Phase 1), evolves to ML scoring (Phase 2) as transaction data accumulates.
EfficientNet-Lite model deployed on-device (CPU inference ~300ms). Farmers photograph suspect leaves; system identifies disease and generates Sinhala treatment guidance via Claude API RAG.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation over local agronomic databases. Farmers ask questions in Sinhala; system returns context-aware answers from HARTI publications, university resources, and best practices.
Integration with weather APIs and HARTI market price feeds. Automated alerts for crop pricing, weather risks, and harvest timing.
Established farmer cooperatives and buyer relationships provide natural partners for pilot launch.
Growing mobile penetration among farmer demographics; feasible PWA adoption.
Dry zone farmers face monsoon timing risk; predictive tools + buyer matching = risk mitigation.
Multi-crop portfolio (rice, vegetables, pulses) enables richer matching and AI training data.
