NDVI Satellite Monitoring
Monitor crop health and land conditions using NDVI satellite imagery — track vegetation changes across contracted farmer plots throughout the growing season.
NDVI Satellite Monitoring brings satellite earth observation into everyday agri-finance operations. For every geo-tagged farm plot in the platform, the system periodically retrieves the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value from satellite imagery — a proven indicator of crop health and land condition. Programme managers, credit officers, and field supervisors can track crop development, identify at-risk plots early, and make data-driven intervention decisions — all without visiting the field.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Automated NDVI Retrieval
For every geo-tagged farm plot, NDVI data is retrieved automatically from the satellite data provider at configured intervals throughout the growing season.
Plot-Level Health Scores
Each farm plot receives a current NDVI health score and a trend indicator — improving, stable, or declining — displayed on the farmer's record and the programme dashboard.
Interactive Crop Health Map
View all contracted plots on an interactive map colour-coded by NDVI health category — giving the portfolio manager an instant visual overview of the entire programme area.
At-Risk Plot Alerts
When a plot's NDVI score drops below a configurable threshold, the system automatically alerts the responsible field officer for a follow-up visit — before the situation becomes a loan risk.
Season-Long Trend Charts
View the NDVI trend for each plot from planting through to harvest — with comparison against the same period in prior seasons for contextual analysis.
Credit Scoring Integration
NDVI data is made available as an input variable in the credit scoring module — allowing agri-loan decisions to incorporate live satellite crop health signals.
Historical NDVI Archive
All NDVI readings are stored permanently against the plot record — building a multi-season historical dataset that improves model accuracy over time.
Programme Health Reporting
Consolidated reports showing average NDVI scores across all programme plots, the distribution of health categories, and the number of at-risk plots — formatted for donor and investor reporting.
Built for your team
Integrate satellite crop health data into loan origination and ongoing portfolio monitoring — making evidence-based lending decisions at a scale that field visits cannot achieve.
Monitor the crop health of every farmer in your programme from a single map — satisfying results-measurement requirements without the cost of universal field visits.
Identify underperforming plots in your contracted farmer base early — enabling targeted extension advice and input support before poor performance becomes a default.
