Apricot orchard at golden hour

Berqo · AI agronomist

Healthy harvests for the rest of us.

An AI agronomist in the pocket of every small-plot orchard owner. Photograph a tree. Get an answer.

We are not agronomists. Neither are 1.5 million Europeans with fruit orchards.

“Every year my parents stress. Will the trees get worms? Will they dry out? When do we spray? We’ve planted trees that died — probably from improper care. Some years we get so much fruit we don’t know where to sell it. Some years the harvest is bad and we still don’t know what to do.”
— Berqo founder, on his family orchard in Armenia

Trees die preventably

Disease, pests, the wrong watering schedule — invisible until the fruit is gone.

Agronomists are unaffordable

A single farm visit costs more than a small-plot owner earns from a season.

No way to sell the surplus

Good year, the fruit rots. Bad year, no market access for non-traders.

Built for someone who has never used a precision-agriculture tool in their life.

Roadmap

We’re starting with apricot. Here’s where we’re going.

Phase 1

AI agronomy app

Apricot in Armenia first, then mixed orchards across Eastern and Southern Europe. Photograph, diagnose, act.

Phase 2

Drone-as-a-service

Quarterly aerial scans of your orchard delivered through partner drone operators. Same dashboard, deeper insight.

Phase 3

Direct marketplace

Restaurants, hotels, and local markets buying directly from you. AI-powered demand forecasting so you plant what will sell.

About Berqo

Built by people who have lived the problem.

Berqo is built by two technical co-founders — a computer vision PhD and a full-stack engineer with LLM-based data integration research — with over 10 years of combined experience and a family orchard in Armenia that started everything.

We’re applying to EIT Jumpstarter 2026 in the Food and Agritech category. We don’t think a small-plot owner should have to choose between losing their harvest and paying for tools built for industrial farms. We’re building the third option.
