Potato Intel and Mantra Agri Solutions Launch Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program

Potato Intel and Mantra Agri Solutions Launch Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program to Transform Contract Potato Farming

Gandhinagar, Gujarat | July 2026

Potato Intel LLP, the world’s first dedicated potato intelligence platform, today announced the launch of the Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program in partnership with Mantra Agri Solutions, a joint venture of Haldiram’s and SK Group.

The Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program is a Decision Support System (DSS) designed to strengthen contract potato farming through continuous crop intelligence, proactive agronomic decision-making, and enterprise-wide collaboration. By combining human agronomy expertise, artificial intelligence, satellite intelligence, field analytics, and soil intelligence, the platform empowers growers and enterprise agronomy teams to make faster, more informed decisions throughout the potato growing season.

Addressing the Challenges of Modern Contract Farming

Managing large-scale contract farming operations requires timely information, consistent crop monitoring, and coordinated decision-making across multiple farms.

However, field observations are often fragmented, scouting is reactive, and agronomic interventions may be delayed, resulting in crop variability, inconsistent quality, increased production costs, and avoidable yield losses.

The Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program addresses these challenges by providing a unified digital intelligence platform that continuously monitors crop performance, identifies field variability, prioritizes agronomic interventions, and enables proactive management throughout the season.

How the Platform Supports Growers and Enterprise Teams

The platform transforms complex agricultural data into practical, field-ready intelligence that supports day-to-day decision-making.

Participating growers and Mantra Agri Solutions’ agronomy teams receive continuous insights including:

• Satellite-based crop health monitoring

• Growth stage tracking

• Field variability analysis

• Irrigation scheduling recommendations

• Fertigation optimization

• Pest and disease risk alerts

• Field scouting priorities

• Preventive agronomic advisories

• Crop performance monitoring

• Enterprise-level field intelligence dashboards

These insights help agronomists identify emerging issues earlier, prioritize field visits, optimize input use, reduce production risks, and improve crop quality and productivity.

One Platform. One Shared View.

A key strength of the Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program is the creation of a shared operational view across the entire contract farming ecosystem.

Instead of relying on disconnected observations and manual reporting, growers, field agronomists, and enterprise management teams work from the same field-level intelligence.

This shared visibility improves communication, accelerates decision-making, enhances field coordination, and enables more timely agronomic interventions throughout the crop season.

Leadership Perspective

Harsh Patel, Co-Founder & Chief Agronomist, Potato Intel LLP, said:

“Our vision is to transform potato farming from reactive crop management to predictive crop intelligence. By integrating human expertise, artificial intelligence, satellite intelligence, and enterprise agronomy into one decision support platform, we are helping growers and agribusinesses identify risks earlier, optimize resources, improve crop quality, and make better decisions throughout the season.”

Jaydeep Bhatia, Chief Executive Officer, Mantra Agri Solutions, said:

“Technology and agronomy together have the potential to redefine contract farming. Through our partnership with Potato Intel, we are creating a more connected farming ecosystem where growers and enterprise teams can make informed decisions based on real-time crop intelligence, ultimately improving operational efficiency and crop quality.”

Driving Sustainable Potato Production

Beyond improving productivity, the Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program supports long-term sustainable agriculture by promoting:

• Precision irrigation management

• Optimized nutrient management

• Efficient fertigation planning

• Early pest and disease prevention

• Improved soil health

• Reduced input wastage

• Resource-efficient farming practices

Together, these approaches contribute to resilient potato production while improving grower profitability and ensuring consistent quality for the food processing industry.

Looking Ahead

The Enterprise Potato Intelligence Program is being deployed across Mantra Agri Solutions’ contract farming network, creating a connected ecosystem where growers, agronomists, and enterprise teams collaborate through shared crop intelligence.

As the platform continues to evolve, Potato Intel aims to expand its enterprise intelligence capabilities with predictive analytics, yield forecasting, traceability, resource optimization, and advanced decision-support tools that help build a smarter, more resilient, and sustainable potato value chain.
