Diagnostics that understand your commodity, not just your business.
Generic SME diagnostics do not know what a planting cycle is or what a typical margin on broilers looks like. Mothusi does. The MGS Agriculture layer runs commodity-specific diagnostics that match the way the operator actually works.
One of thirteen workflows in the Agriculture layer. All connected to the same growth record.
Why it exists, and how it operates.
For each commodity an SME produces, the diagnostic captures production cycle, expected yield, input cost structure, margin assumptions, storage and logistics requirements, buyer and offtake status, climate and disease exposure, and the finance need it implies.
The output is not a generic score. It is a structured profile of the business as a producer of that specific commodity, which programme officers, lenders, and buyers can read and act on.
Mothusi runs the conversation. The farmer answers in their own words. MGS converts those answers into the structured commodity record.
How it works in the field.
- 01
Diagnostic conversation
Mothusi asks the operator about the commodity they produce, the cycle, and the operation.
Mothusi AI - 02
Production parameters captured
Cycle length, planting or stocking density, expected yield, and timing windows.
MGS Framework - 03
Margin assumptions modelled
Input cost, sale price, post-harvest loss, and resulting per-unit margin.
MGS Framework - 04
Climate and disease exposure flagged
Geographic risk profile and commodity-specific biological exposure.
MGS Framework - 05
Buyer and offtake status confirmed
Whether the commodity has a buyer pipeline and what evidence exists.
MGS Framework - 06
Diagnostic report produced
A structured commodity record that feeds funding, programmes, and field visits.
Growth record
What this workflow produces.
Each item below is a structured artefact written to the operator's growth record. Programme officers, funders, buyers, and the operator themselves can read and act on every one.
- Commodity baseline report
- Production cycle parameters
- Margin model per commodity
- Climate and disease risk profile
- Buyer and offtake status confirmation
Different audiences. Same workflow output.
| Audience | Value delivered |
|---|---|
| Farmers | Understand the real economics of each commodity they produce, not assumptions. |
| Programmes | Cohort-level visibility into commodity mix, risk concentration, and intervention need. |
| Funders | Transparent commodity risk before disbursement, not after. |
| Buyers | Pre-verified supplier profile per commodity, with capacity stated. |
