Urboraউর্বরাSmart Soil Monitoring System
IoT-enabled soil monitoring system delivering real-time insights on NPK levels, moisture, and temperature. Empowering Bangladeshi farmers with data-driven decisions in their native language.
Farming in the Dark
Karim is a rice farmer in Bogura. Every season, he buys the same amount of urea his father used, applies it the same way, and hopes for the best. Sometimes the crop thrives. Sometimes it doesn't. He never knows why.
What Karim doesn't know is that his soil has excess nitrogen but critically low potassium. Half his fertilizer investment is wasted, running off into rivers and causing environmental damage. The other nutrients his crops desperately need are never applied.
According to the Soil Resources Development Institute (SRDI), approximately 76% of Bangladesh's arable land now suffers from degraded soil quality due to decades of imbalanced fertilizer use. For 16 million farming families spending over $2 billion annually on fertilizers, there's no practical way to know what their soil actually needs.

The Precision Agriculture Revolution
Countries that invested in soil monitoring technology have transformed their agricultural productivity. Bangladesh can follow the same path.
Precision Greenhouse Farming
Dutch farmers use IoT soil sensors to achieve yields 10x higher than the global average. Real-time monitoring has made the Netherlands the world's second-largest agricultural exporter despite its small size.
John Deere & Climate Corp
American farmers using soil monitoring and precision agriculture have reduced fertilizer costs by 15% and increased yields by 10-15%. The US precision ag market is worth $7 billion.
Digital Agriculture Mission
India's precision farming initiatives have helped smallholder farmers increase yields by 20-30% through soil health monitoring and data-driven recommendations.
Urbora is designed to bring these proven precision agriculture technologies to Bangladesh, with affordable sensors, cellular connectivity, and a Bengali-first interface that puts soil intelligence directly in farmers' hands.
