Precision Irrigation for Olive, Date & Pistachio Farms.
Every morning, FarmOptima delivers a personalized irrigation and fertilisation advisory directly to your farmers via WhatsApp _ calculated on FAO-56 standards and real-time weather data.
Tree Crops Are Being Irrigated by Habit, Not Science.
Across Tunisia and the MENA region, olive groves, date palm plantations, and pistachio farms lose 30-40 % of their irrigation water every season, not from drought, but from imprecision. Most farmers apply water based on calendar schedules or visual observation. No tool exists that speaks to them in Arabic, at their scale, at their price point.

Pistachio
Stage-based advisory covering dormancy break, flowering, shell hardening, and maturation, with heat stress and sirocco alerts.
How It Works
1. Onboarding
Farmer registers via WhatsApp. Farm data collected once: crop, soil type, GPS, irrigation system.
2. Weather Fetch
Real-time meteorological data retrieved daily per farm via GPS coordinates.
3. FAO-56 Calculation
Evapotranspiration, crop coefficients, and soil constants processed automatically.
4. Daily Delivery
Personalized advisory sent every morning at 06:00 via WhatsApp in Arabic.
Built on Agronomic Science and Modern Infrastructure.
FarmOptima’s engine is built on the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith evapotranspiration model: the global gold standard for irrigation science. Real-time weather data is processed daily per farm. The automation stack runs 24/7 on a dedicated server, integrated with the WhatsApp Business API. A machine learning pipeline is in active development, targeting the first genuinely MENA-specific agronomic AI dataset: 100 farms and 365 days of daily precision data.
