Overview

Farm advisory apps and chatbots are spreading across Southeast Asia, but the models behind them are trained on temperate-climate content. They give advice for wheat and corn when farmers ask about rice blast, coffee berry borer or durian root rot.

This dataset collects the questions smallholder farmers ask about tropical crops and has agronomists and extension officers answer them in plain language, with diagnosis steps, practical actions and when to call an expert.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the questions come from?

From agronomists' and extension officers' real field work, rewritten without personal details, plus questions we commission for coverage.

Can you include photos with the questions?

Yes. We can photograph symptoms in the field and link them to Q&A records; see our photo datasets.

How do you handle pesticide recommendations?

Only products registered for the crop in the country, with label doses and pre-harvest intervals, and a recommendation to confirm locally.

How does ordering and payment work?

Create a free account and place your order on this page; nothing is charged online. Our team contacts you to confirm the spec and invoices a 50% deposit, with the balance due on final delivery. The deposit is refunded in full if we cannot deliver the agreed spec.

What is the difference between non-exclusive and Exclusive?

With Research or Commercial we may license the Q&A pairs produced for your order to other buyers later. With Exclusive they are never licensed to anyone else or added to our catalog.

Can I order a different quantity or extra annotations?

Yes. Request a custom quote with the quantity, annotations and deadline you need. Prices per record fall as quantity grows.

Need a variation?

Different topics, languages, difficulty, quantity or labels? Describe it and we reply within 48 hours with matching samples and a quote.
