Sri Lanka’s National Crop Plan is more than a policy — it’s a roadmap to ensure food security, balanced production, and rural prosperity. But to succeed, farmers need real-time guidance, policymakers need live monitoring, and markets need reliable supply flows.
WHY Super App bridges these gaps with satellite insights, AI-powered dashboards, and a multivendor marketplace that directly links farmers, cooperatives, SMEs, buyers, and government agencies.
Why the National Crop Plan Matters
Food Security – Ensure every household has access to staple crops.
Balanced Production – Prevent shortages of essentials and oversupply of non-priorities.
Sustainable Land Use – Guide farmers to crops suited for each region’s soil and climate.
Farmer Prosperity – Guarantee markets and fair prices for priority crops.
Evidence-Based Policy – Replace guesswork with data-driven agriculture
Technology Backbone
The Digital Engine of the National Crop Plan
Modern Earth observation satellites deliver daily, field-level imagery across Sri Lanka. These data streams capture variations in crop growth, soil condition, and vegetation health that are invisible to the human eye. By analyzing reflected light signatures, WHY can:
Detect crop stress from drought, pests, or disease before visible damage occurs.
Measure soil moisture and nutrient capacity to optimize irrigation and fertilizer use.
Track crop senescence to determine the optimal harvest window.
Map underutilized or misallocated lands for improved resource planning.
This continuous coverage ensures that every field, from smallholder paddy plots to large estates, is visible and measurable in near real time.
Raw data becomes actionable intelligence through WHY’s AI-driven analysis. The platform applies machine learning to:
Identify crop types, planting density, and growth stages with high accuracy.
Generate predictive yield forecasts based on historical production, soil, and weather data.
Detect oversupply risks and recommend adjustments to prevent regional imbalances.
Validate compliance with crop zoning rules, GAP/Organic certifications, and subsidy programs.
Provide localized, zone-specific advisories to farmers, ensuring that decisions at the farm gate are aligned with national targets.
Through this layer, the National Crop Plan is enforced not only through regulation but through real-time, evidence-based decision support.
The WHY platform is connected to Sri Lanka’s National AI Data Pool, creating a unified agricultural intelligence system. This integration consolidates:
Crop calendars, productivity trends, and pest/disease reports.
Weather and irrigation data, including reservoir levels and drought risk zones.
Subsidy, grant, and insurance records for full financial transparency.
Market intelligence, including pricing trends and import/export flows.
Agro-ecological zoning and land-use data for sustainable planning.
The result is a single source of truth that serves farmers, buyers, cooperatives, and policymakers alike. Farmers receive practical recommendations, buyers gain confidence in verified supply chains, and policymakers monitor progress against national goals with unprecedented clarity.
The Technology Backbone connects directly with WHY’s multivendor marketplace and government dashboards. Verified farm outputs that align with the National Crop Plan are automatically listed for buyers, while administrators at GS, DS, District, and Provincial levels access live dashboards to:
Approve subsidies and monitor their use.
Track regional compliance with crop policy.
Respond quickly to climate events or supply-demand shocks.
Generate transparent reports for ministries, donors, and international partners.
