Ask ADZA

Ask ADZA brings Africa's largest network of agricultural, climate and market intelligence into a single conversation. Built by OpenTrace Africa, the platform draws on over 30 billion federated data points spanning 54 African countries, combining satellite data, market prices, weather patterns, soil conditions and socio economic indicators into one place you can simply ask. Instead of searching through scattered reports, disconnected dashboards or outdated statistics, farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, researchers and government agencies can ask Ask ADZA a direct question and receive a clear, sourced answer built for the African context. What Ask ADZA does Answers questions in plain language about crop conditions, market prices, climate risk, input availability and more, drawing on data from across the continent rather than a single country or dataset. Shows its confidence in every answer, flagging where information is well supported and where it should be treated with more caution, so you always know how much to trust what you are seeing. Fills gaps in incomplete or missing data using OpenTrace's own reconstruction methods, so you get useful answers even in regions where official data collection is thin. Draws on continuously growing, federated data infrastructure spanning agriculture, climate, markets, nutrition and socio economic systems across all 54 African countries. Who it is for Ask ADZA is built for anyone who needs fast, trustworthy answers about African agriculture, from smallholder farmers and cooperatives to agribusinesses, financial institutions, NGOs, researchers and government agencies. About OpenTrace Africa OpenTrace Africa is African led agricultural intelligence infrastructure, registered in the Netherlands with operations run through Fractal Impact in Nigeria. Ask ADZA is the user facing door into that infrastructure. Partners retain full ownership of their own data, and OpenTrace focuses on building the intelligence layer that no single institution has the incentive or the reach to build alone. Ask ADZA is currently in testing with a limited group of users as we refine the experience ahead of a wider rollout. We welcome feedback from every tester as we help build this out.
