Where did the input come from?
Check whether your assumptions are based on real observations or untested estimates.

Better agricultural planning.
Grounded in the field.
A practical planning desk inspired by the questions behind IAG’s field and supply-chain work: how assumptions about crop losses, inputs and distribution affect decisions.

MISHA MAHANDO × INVADE AGRO GLOBAL
A planning mindset.
Relevant to IAG’s field work.
IAG’s public approach combines agricultural inputs, agronomy, field intelligence and disciplined operations.
The Agri Desk is a simple companion for understanding the assumptions behind those decisions. It does not represent IAG’s proprietary tools, commercial forecasts, actual projects or advice from Misha.

IAG / EAST AFRICA AGRICULTUREUSE THE AGRI DESK WELL
Make the assumptions clear.
Then test them.
01
Begin with a realistic input you can explain.
02
Change one assumption to see its effect on the outcome.
03
Validate the result with qualified local technical and commercial expertise.
THREE MODELS / ONE PURPOSE
Turn assumptions into
better questions.
Use the scenario tools to make a discussion more specific. Each calculation operates locally in your browser using values you enter; no live prices or IAG project data are used.
01
Post-harvest loss
Explore the value of changing a loss assumption.
02
Input budget
Compare two cost-per-hectare scenarios.
03
Logistics costs
Estimate a simple tonne-kilometre calculation.
02INTERACTIVE MODELS
Explore a working scenario.
Select a tool, adjust the values and watch the result update.
Post-harvest loss scenario
Explore the indicative value of reducing post-harvest losses.
INDICATIVE VALUE RETAINED$2,520
Illustrative value retained under the changed loss assumption.
Results do not include duties, financing, product quality changes, fees, fuel or live market conditions. Verify every assumption independently.
03READ THE RESULT
Numbers are a starting point.
Before treating a scenario as useful, consider these four checks.
02 / SENSITIVITY
What changes the outcome?
Explore how a worse or better scenario affects the answer.
03 / EXECUTION
Who controls the steps?
Identify real operating responsibilities, routes and constraints.
04 / VALIDATION
Who can verify locally?
Bring qualified local technical and commercial expertise into the decision.

A better question starts a better conversation.
Use the result to frame what you need to learn next, not to claim that a commercial outcome is guaranteed.
Discuss a regional requirementAFTER THE CALCULATION
Use the number to
ask what happens next.
What is the data source? What costs are omitted? Which changes are beyond anyone's control? And which local professional can check the result? A model is most useful when it improves a real conversation.

Clarity starts with the right questions.
Useful answers about the role, the regional remit and the information on this website.
01Do these tools use live prices or agronomic data?+
No. Results are calculated from hypothetical user inputs only.
02Are the input values saved?+
No. Values are processed only in the browser during the current session and are not sent to the contact system.
03Can I make a commercial commitment using the result?+
The models are educational aids. Verify operational data and obtain qualified local advice before making a decision.
