HiveSight is the next-level crop intelligence platform: hand-held, on-farm scanners with vision AI diagnose disease early and model yield across fields and supply chains. Built for cocoa first and extending to coffee, grapes and almonds next, with full scanning autonomy on the horizon.
Disease and deficiency maps target treatment to the plants that need it, so spray and fertiliser go where they earn their keep instead of across the whole block.
How much is coming, and when it will be ready to pick. A buyer planning shipping needs that as much as a grower planning labour.
Every reading is tied to a field and a date in a digital field diary, so provenance and sustainability claims can be evidenced rather than asserted.
The Scout captures the whole cocoa plant as it stands, building a three-dimensional record of every tree we scan. This allows us to uniquely identify, revisit and track every pod, flower and sign of disease.
Every leaf, pod and plot tells a story. A scan produces four living maps of a block: disease, yield, water content and nutrient deficiency. Statistical modelling keeps sharpening every detection as the season goes on, so the maps improve rather than go stale.
Custom imaging sensors in the hand-held scanner catch the faintest symptoms in real time, then guide eradication to the plants that actually need treating.
Depth models count pods and estimate size, combined with disease insight and a grower's own knowledge of the field to forecast yield.
The same scan reads water content and nutrient deficiency, so thirst and hunger are told apart from disease rather than lumped in with it.
Every farm that scans makes the model better for everyone, without its own records ever leaving it. Only what the model learns is shared, so each grower draws on the whole network's experience while keeping their data their own.
This is a causal graph: a map of what actually drives cocoa yield. In HiveSight, this is used to show farmers what levers to pull and how in order to maximise yield and input efficiency.
This causal AI is built from field measurements and agronomic science, not from whatever happens to move together in the data, and that distinction matters: correlation is a poor guide to action. Rainfall, sunlight and disease pressure rise and fall together, and a farm that fertilises well usually irrigates and manages disease well too. Analyse yield without a causal structure and you credit fertiliser for gains that came from water, or blame a pest for drought damage. This model knows which factors to hold constant to isolate what an input, like fertiliser or pesticide, is really doing.
HiveSight Insight is applied across a growing network of farms spanning different countries, soils, varieties and management styles. That variation is a large supply of real-world experiments, letting us separate cause from coincidence region by region and farm type by farm type, rather than assuming one answer fits every growing condition.
It sharpens as more farms report in, and answers what matters: not what tends to help, but where, when and how each management action will help most.
HiveSight links every field reading to a secure cloud ledger and digital field diary, creating an unbroken data trail from field to loading bay. Buyers verify provenance and sustainability in seconds, not months.
Batch metadata auto-syncs with yield and disease status.
Instant ESG and certification dashboards for auditors and investors.
Yield forecasts feed directly into procurement and shipping schedules to prevent bottlenecks.
When scaled, the same plant-level insights guiding farmers fuel strategic choices for processors, exporters and brands. Our global data network benchmarks yields, flags risk hotspots and uncovers new sourcing opportunities, turning agriculture's biggest blind spot into a competitive edge.
Designed and built in the UK and Ecuador, working with farmers at every step. Ecuador is our beachhead and main testbed as the key hotspot of cocoa industry growth and innovation. We work alongside the farmers and cocoa researchers most engaged in securing a prosperous future in agriculture.
