How it works
From problem to practical answer
1
Describe your problem
In your own words — by text, voice, or through the call centre. No need to name a crop variety or institute.
2
The Advisor matches it
Your description is matched against KALRO's technology, innovation and management practice records, filtered to your county where possible.
3
You get a next step
A technology to adopt, a practice to follow, or a direct contact — with the option to escalate to a human advisor at any point.
Impact
Built to show impact, not just store documents
The national dashboard is being built county by county
As adoption, training and commercialisation activity is recorded through this platform, it will appear here as live, filterable data — replacing annual-report narratives with evidence you can check yourself.
