BANAS AI
Market forecasts for arecanut growers, and machines for the hardest farm work
Banas Intelligence is our free arecanut market forecast. We are also building machines for farms and processing lines, starting with grading, then dehusking, then a farm manager robot.
What we build
Banas Intelligence is free and live today. Grading, dehusking and the farm manager robot follow, one at a time. Join the waitlist for the ones you want.

Built by people who work the land
Banas AI is a family company. We have grown and traded arecanut in Karnataka for generations, so we know how graders decide, what a wrong grade costs, and how little good information reaches the farmer.
Our software team is in Dublin and our field team is in Karnataka. We test everything on real farms and processing lines before anyone pays for it.
Banas Intelligence is a free forecasting tool for the arecanut community. It reads weather, water, market arrivals, news, policy, trade flows, price trends and seasonal cycles together and turns them into one forecast. It is live now and free to use.
Yes. It is free for farmers, traders and processors. We want to build a community around it and let that community decide which commodities we add next.
Join our free WhatsApp community for arecanut growers. Members get market updates, crop care tips and news on government schemes, and can ask questions and help each other.
An ecosystem of three products: Banas Grading for produce lines (pilots open now), Banas Dehusking for arecanut processors (in development), and Banas Farm Manager, a ground robot for routine farm work (coming later).
Mushroom growers and fresh produce packers in Ireland and the UK, and arecanut processors and traders in Karnataka, India. We are starting with a small group of pilots.
