SmartFarming Potato App
SmartFarming has created a mobile application, SmartFarming Potato India, to aid smallholder potato farmers in India. The app is tailored to suit the needs of farmers participating in the Green Innovation Centre projects located in Maharashtra and Karnataka. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) oversees this initiative as its commissioner. ETC Consultants India Pvt Ltd (ETC), a local partner, worked closely with SmartFarming to develop the app. The agronomic content and recommendations on the app underwent participatory technology development, ensuring their efficacy with farmers prior to approval.
The Green Innovation Centre India wants small-scale farming enterprises and rural entrepreneurs to get more money out of their work. SmartFarming supported the project with an app for real-time customised advice.

My Crop Care App
SmartFarming has been collaborating with the Rainforest Alliance since 2018 to create an application for coffee farmers in Karnataka, India. The application, named My Crop Care, aims to provide scalable agronomic support and is currently in the pilot stage in Karnataka. The region was chosen due to its relatively high literacy rate and smartphone ownership among farmers. A user-centered design approach has been employed, with farmers actively participating in the development process. The tool is currently utilized in both Rwanda and India
Together with the Rainforest Alliance and a group of Indian coffee producers (Western Gaths Sustainable Farming Consortium) we are working on a coffee app aiming to make dissemination of knowledge and information to the coffee producers a notch up. A platform that brings the small holder coffee growers together towards sustainable coffee farming.

In June 2016, SmartFarming introduced a smartphone App designed specifically for cotton farmers in Central Maharashtra. This App is customized to meet the unique needs of cotton cultivation in this region, where yields are only a third of those in other cotton-growing areas.

The SmartFarming cotton App is a leapfrog technology that aims to complement existing extension efforts by providing the right information to farmers. When absorbed and applied correctly, this information can significantly increase productivity in many households.
Together with Arvind Agribusiness an android app for cotton producers has been created. The app focussed on supporting organic and BCI certified cultivation with high quality advices
