The problem in agri-input companies and dealers
Seed, fertiliser, crop-protection and farm-equipment businesses sell into two short windows — kharif sowing around the monsoon and rabi from October — when farmers and dealers decide within a few weeks. Field teams cannot reach thousands of farmers or hundreds of retailers in that time, and product information passes through several hands before it reaches the farmer. Pesticide claims are regulated: only uses approved by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee may be promoted.
What the AI employee actually does
- 01Call dealers before each season to take advance orders and confirm stock, writing orders to your sheet
- 02Announce new seed varieties and products to farmer lists and invite them to field days and demonstrations
- 03Call farmers who respond to Meta ads or missed-call numbers within 30 seconds and capture crop, acreage and village
- 04Remind farmers of field-day dates and meeting points, with the location sent on WhatsApp
- 05Run post-season feedback calls on yield and product performance for your agronomy team
Businesses measure this on one number: dealer pre-season orders and farmer attendance at field days.
Hear how a call goes
A sample agri-input companies and dealers call
A farmer in Nalgonda district responds to a Meta ad for a new paddy seed; the agent calls within 30 seconds, captures the field details and routes a crop-protection question to an agronomist. · Runs in Telugu with English words; shown here in English.
- Outpero AINamaste, this is the AI assistant of Godavari Seeds. Am I speaking with Venkat Reddy garu? You showed interest in our new paddy seed through our advertisement. Do you have two minutes?
- CallerYes, I can talk. I am in the field, so speak a little louder.
- Outpero AIOf course. Which village and mandal are you in, and how many acres are you planning to sow with paddy this season?
- CallerKodad side, Nalgonda district. Six acres of paddy, and I have borewell water.
- Outpero AIThank you, I have noted six acres and borewell irrigation. When do you plan to start the nursery, and which variety did you grow last season?
- CallerNursery next week. Last time I grew a fine-grain variety, but stem borer damaged a lot of it. Which pesticide should I spray this time?
- Outpero AII am an AI assistant and cannot recommend a pesticide or a dose, because that must come from our agronomist. I will pass your stem borer problem to the field officer in Nalgonda, who will call you. Is that all right?
- CallerYes, ask him to call in the evening.
- Outpero AINoted, the officer will call in the evening. Where can you buy the seed? The nearest dealer in our list for Kodad is Lakshmi Agro Centre. Shall I send the shop location and our field day date on WhatsApp?
- CallerSend it, I know that shop.
Captured: farmer name, village (Kodad), district, crop (paddy), 6 acres, borewell irrigation, nursery next week, last-season problem (stem borer). Agronomist callback requested for the evening, nearest dealer and field-day details sent on WhatsApp, no pesticide advice given.

Rules that shape the call
What agri-input companies and dealers need to get right
| Rule or norm | What it means for the agent |
|---|---|
| Insecticides Act, 1968 and the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee | Only registered products and approved uses may be promoted. The agent does not recommend pesticides or doses, and routes crop-protection questions to your agronomist. |
| Seeds Act, 1966 and the Seeds Rules | Variety names, labels and claims on a call must match what is on the approved label. The agent uses your supplied product sheet, not its own descriptions. |
| Fertiliser (Control) Order, 1985 | For fertiliser products, dealer and farmer calls state only labelled grades and authorised sale points your team provides. |
| TRAI Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulations, 2018 | A farmer who gave a missed call or form is called about that. Cold promotional calls to farmer lists go through DND screening. |
General information, not legal advice. Calls also run under TRAI’s rules on DLT-registered lines and the DND registry.

What to track
| Track | How to read it |
|---|---|

| Dealer pre-orders captured | Counts advance orders taken by calls before the season, against what the field team collected by visits. |
| Field-day attendance against registrations | Shows whether reminder calls, with the meeting point sent on WhatsApp, bring registered farmers to the demonstration. |
| Agronomy questions routed to the field team | Tracks crop-protection queries passed on rather than answered by the agent, and how fast they were followed up. |
How it opens the call
राम राम जी, आपने धान के नए बीज के बारे में पूछा था। इस बार कितने एकड़ में धान लगाने का plan है?
“Greetings, you asked about the new paddy seed. How many acres are you planning to sow with paddy this time?”
Natural Hindi with English mixed in the way callers actually speak — and it can run the same call in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam and English.
Agriculture Inputs — questions people ask
Can an AI voice agent work for agri-input companies and dealers?
+
Yes. Outpero's AI voice agent handles agri-input companies and dealers calls end to end — running pre-season product and dealer-order campaigns to farmers and retailers before kharif and rabi. It works 24 hours a day in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam and English, switching to English the moment the caller does.
What does an AI voice agent do for agri-input companies and dealers?
+
For agri-input companies and dealers, an Outpero AI employee will call dealers before each season to take advance orders and confirm stock, writing orders to your sheet; announce new seed varieties and products to farmer lists and invite them to field days and demonstrations; call farmers who respond to Meta ads or missed-call numbers within 30 seconds and capture crop, acreage and village; remind farmers of field-day dates and meeting points, with the location sent on WhatsApp. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarised automatically.
How much does an AI voice agent cost for agri-input companies and dealers in India?
+
Outpero has no setup fee and no monthly base fee — you pay only for connected talk time, from ₹5 per minute (1 credit = ₹1, credits never expire), plus ₹649/month for a dedicated calling number. A full-time telecaller doing the same job costs around ₹18,000 a month, works one shift and handles one call at a time. Prices exclude 18% GST.
How fast does it respond to a new agri-input companies and dealers enquiry?
+
Under 30 seconds from the enquiry landing. That matters here because seed, fertiliser, crop-protection and farm-equipment businesses sell into two short windows — kharif sowing around the monsoon and rabi from October — when farmers and dealers decide within a few weeks. Field teams cannot reach thousands of farmers or hundreds of retailers in that time, and product information passes through several hands before it reaches the farmer. Pesticide claims are regulated: only uses approved by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee may be promoted.
Can the agent advise farmers on pesticide dosage?
+
Only by repeating what is on the approved label, and many companies prefer it not to discuss dosage at all. Under the Insecticides Act 1968, crop-protection products may be promoted only for uses approved by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee. The agent can share label information you provide and book a call with your agronomist for anything about a specific crop problem.
When should farmer campaigns go out?
+
Plan around the crop calendar: kharif campaigns ahead of monsoon sowing, usually May and June, and rabi campaigns in September and October. Within a day, early morning before fieldwork and evening after it reach farmers best, and calling windows enforce that. Avoid harvest weeks, when nobody has time to talk. Retries catch farmers who were in the field on the first attempt.
Can it handle dealer credit and payment follow-ups?
+
Yes. Agri-input trade runs heavily on seasonal credit, and dues pile up until harvest. The agent reminds dealers of outstanding amounts and due dates from your ledger sheet, records promised payment dates and flags disputes for your area manager. It stays courteous and does not threaten supply cuts unless your policy is explicitly written into the script.
What does the business learn from these calls?
+
Crop, acreage, village and district, current seed or product used, interest in the new product, the dealer they buy from and field-day attendance, plus recordings and transcripts. Across many calls that becomes a picture of demand by district before the season starts, which helps plan stock with dealers. Post-season calls add yield feedback for your product team.
