Solutions for Every Stakeholder
Meridian Africa provides Meridian Sentinel satellite-based verification infrastructure that transforms agricultural program delivery across Africa. From government subsidy verification to development bank monitoring, we deliver automatic, affordable transparency, achieving 100% beneficiary coverage and a 80% cost reduction with a 48-hour verification turnaround.
Transform Subsidy Programs with Satellite Verification
African governments invest Billions of dollars annually in agricultural subsidies, yet lose 20-30% to fraud. Meridian Sentinel enables you to verify 100% of beneficiaries cheaper than manual verification—ensuring every dollar reaches legitimate farmers.
- Eliminate Ghost Farmers: Automatically detect zero-vegetation fields claiming to be active farms
- Prevent Area Inflation: Verify actual farm sizes against declared areas with High-accuracy Validated models
- Stop Crop Misreporting: Identify crop types to prevent subsidy fraud (e.g., declaring rice, growing maize)
- Real-Time Monitoring: Track crop performance throughout the season for early intervention
- Data-Driven Policy: Access continent-wide yield maps, crop distribution, and performance analytics
- Rapid Deployment: 24-48 hour verification vs. 4-8 weeks manual process
Tailored for Every Agricultural Stakeholder
Beyond government programs, Meridian Sentinel provides specialized solutions for the entire agriculture ecosystem.
Maximize Program Impact with Transparent Monitoring
Ensure donor funds reach intended beneficiaries, track program implementation in real-time, and demonstrate measurable impact with objective satellite-based evidence.
- Verify beneficiary eligibility without costly field visits
- Monitor subsidy program project outcomes
- Quantitative impact relief with real-time crop damage assessment
- Generate impact reports with satellite/weather satellite evidence
- Scale monitoring to 100x more farms/hectares for same budget
De-Risk Agricultural Lending with Satellite Intelligence
Make informed credit decisions using satellite-based risk assessment. Monitor borrower farm performance throughout the loan cycle and enable data-driven interventions at scale.
- Verify farmer claims (land ownership, farm size, crop type) before credit award
- Monitor crop health and predict yields for early default warnings
- Enable index insurance with automated satellite-based payouts
- Reduce loan processing time from weeks to 48 hours
- Cut verification costs by 80%, making smallholder lending profitable
Manage Member Farms with Data-Driven Insights
Track individual member performance, optimize collective operations, and provide members with satellite-derived crop performance data.
- Monitor all member farms simultaneously (no instead visits required)
- Identify underperforming farms for targeted extension support
- Aggregate production forecasts for better buyer negotiations
- Detect crop stress early for intervention recommendations
- Generate proof of production for contract farming compliance
Ensure Supply Chain Transparency & Traceability
Verify supplier claims, monitor contract farming compliance, and meet sustainability requirements with satellite-verified field-level data.
- Verify farmer operations are production capacity
- Monitor contract farmer compliance (crop type, timing, practices)
- Demonstrate for sustainability (EUDR compliance)
- Forecast supply volumes for logistics planning
- Generate traceability reports for buyers (quality)
Enable Scalable Crop Insurance with Satellite Verification
Reduce field verification costs by 80%, enable index insurance at scale, and process claims in 24-48 hours vs weeks of field investigations.
- Automate verification (drought, flood, crop failure) using satellite data
- Process claims in 5-48 hours vs weeks of field investigations
- Detect fraudulent claims (e.g., claiming damage on non-existent fields)
- Enable parametric insurance with objective satellite triggers
- Drastically reduce verification cost
Accelerate Agricultural Research with Continental-Scale Data
Access the largest dataset of smallholder farm performance across Africa for climate research, breeding, and policy research.
- Access continental database (millions of farms)
- Multi-year crop performance time series
- Climate-crop interaction data (drought, heat, flood)
- API access for model training and validation
- Co-publication opportunities with Meridian Sentinel team
