Jool International

What Jool International does

Jool International, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, is a privately held AgriTech company that operates an integrated agricultural intelligence platform for African agriculture. The platform combines satellite imagery, drone aerial mapping, AI biophysical analysis, and geo-referenced field data collection into four interconnected products: KIRiQ Ai (satellite + AI monitoring with sub-1-hour diagnostic turnaround), Jool Monitor (drone mapping delivering 2 cm GSD orthomosaics, 3D terrain models, and 98% counting accuracy at up to 500 ha per mission), Jool ID (farmer and plot identity infrastructure with an open API), and Mon Agro (field intervention and agronomist coordination, deployed through 250 active agronomists). The AI layer is purpose-trained on African tropical crops including oil palm, rubber, cocoa, coffee, maize, bananas, and cashew, and the platform is engineered for African conditions via offline-first mobile applications that synchronise when connectivity is restored.

Revenue model

1. Satellite Diagnostics & Portfolio Monitoring (KIRiQ Ai): Recurring satellite monitoring subscriptions and on-demand diagnostics. Clients pay per hectare per year for portfolio monitoring or per diagnostic/score for one-off assessments. Pricing ranges from 900 FCFA (~$1.5) per diagnostic to 11,000 FCFA (~$18) per hectare per year for portfolio monitoring, and 24,000 FCFA (~$40) per farmer score for agricultural risk scoring. Revenue is subscription/usage-based with enterprise custom pricing for advanced analytics.
2. Drone Mapping Services (Jool Monitor): One-time drone flight and cartographic deliverables. Pricing varies by surface area and complexity. Clients pay per mission for drone mapping, counting analysis, and multi-site industrial missions. Includes GIS export and advanced deliverables (orthomosaics, 3D models) as add-ons.
3. Farmer Georeferencing & Database Structuring (Jool ID): Per-farmer georeferencing fees (1,000 FCFA / ~$1.7 per farmer) plus volume-based pricing for database structuring. Institutional deployments for cooperatives, agro-industries, and public institutions are priced per scope. Open API integration services are bundled as professional services.
4. Field Intervention Services (Mon Agro): A mix of unit-priced interventions (25,000 FCFA / ~$42 per agronomic intervention, 10,000 FCFA / ~$17 per hectare for drone spraying) and recurring operational support contracts. Multi-site deployments and operational reporting are priced on a custom quote basis per project scope and frequency.

Core offering

Jool International operates an integrated agricultural intelligence platform combining satellite imagery, AI biophysical analysis, drone aerial mapping, and a georeferenced farmer/plot database to monitor crops, detect risks, and coordinate field interventions across African agricultural value chains. Its four core products—KIRiQ Ai (satellite + AI), Jool Monitor (drone mapping), Jool ID (farmer/plot identity), and Mon Agro (field operations)—form a unified ecosystem serving agro-industries, insurers, banks, cooperatives, and public institutions.

Product overview

Jool International offers an integrated AgriTech platform comprising four interconnected products: KIRiQ Ai (satellite-based AI monitoring), JooL Monitor (drone aerial mapping), JooL ID (farmer/plot database management), and Mon Agro (field intervention coordination). These products communicate with each other to provide continuous farm monitoring from continental scale (via satellite) to field level (via drones) to farmer level (via georeferenced databases), enabling risk detection, intervention deployment, and operational execution across African agricultural portfolios.

Products and services

• KIRiQ Ai Satellite-based agricultural intelligence platform that transforms satellite imagery into actionable field intelligence. Detects anomalies, monitors crop dynamics, estimates yield impact, and guides field decisions at scale for agro-industries, insurers, cooperatives, and institutions managing African tropical crops (oil palm, rubber, cocoa, coffee, maize, bananas, cashew). Delivers results in under 1 hour from image capture.
• Jool Monitor Drone-based high-resolution aerial mapping and analysis service. Produces orthomosaics, 3D terrain models, smart plant counting, density analysis, and visual compliance auditing with 2 cm GSD resolution, 98% counting accuracy, and coverage of up to 500 hectares per flight mission for plantations and agro-industrial operators.
• Jool ID Agricultural identity and farmer database management system. Structures and centralizes farmer profiles, plot data, crop information, cooperative memberships, and verification statuses into a reliable, traceable, and scalable georeferenced database supporting 300,000+ farmers and 600,000+ hectares. Includes an open API for integration with existing ERP, insurance, and financing systems, plus offline mobile data collection.
