Coming Soon: Poultry Pro App – Powering Smart Poultry Farming in Tanzania

At Uchumi Institute, we believe in harnessing data and technology to empower farmers, improve livelihoods, and drive sustainable growth across food systems. That’s why we’re excited to announce the upcoming launch of our Poultry Pro App—a smart tool designed to support smallholder and commercial poultry farmers in Tanzania and beyond.

Why Poultry Pro? 🐣
Poultry farming is a fast-growing sector with incredible potential to boost food security, generate income, and create jobs—especially for youth and women. However, many farmers struggle with challenges like disease outbreaks, feed management, and market access. The Poultry Pro App aims to change that by putting actionable insights and tools directly in the hands of farmers.

What Will the App Do?🚀 
Whether you're just starting with a small backyard coop or scaling up to a commercial layer operation, Poultry Pro is being built to help you at every stage of the poultry value chain. Key features will include:

📊 Farm Dashboard: Monitor production, feed usage, and health metrics in real time.

📅 Reminder System: Automate vaccination schedules, feed routines, and egg collection.

🐔 Breed & Batch Tracking: Easily manage flocks, track growth, and monitor performance.

📚 Knowledge Hub: Access best practices, disease prevention tips, and market advice.

📈 Profitability Insights: Track your costs, sales, and returns in a clear, farmer-friendly format.

Built for Farmers, With Farmers🤝 
What makes Poultry Pro unique is that it’s being co-designed with local poultry farmers. Field-tested on real farms—including our own pilot urban and rural poultry units—the app is tailored to Tanzania’s realities, including offline functionality for areas with limited connectivity.

Looking Ahead🌍
As we prepare to roll out the beta version, our vision is to integrate Poultry Pro into training programs, farmer groups, and extension services. We're building a tool that doesn’t just track data—it helps farmers make better decisions, avoid losses, and grow stronger businesses.

Stay tuned for updates on the launch date, testing opportunities, and how to get early access.
