From the founder of Lumora

Know before it rots.

SEVORA is a small sensor you push into a sack of stored grain. It reads the first signs of spoilage and texts a warning to any phone, days before mold takes hold. No smartphone. No internet. Just a message that says, dry your grain now.

Watch

See SEVORA in the field.

A short look at the probe, the prediction, and the text that reaches a farmer in time.

The problem

A harvest survives the field, then dies in storage.

Most grain is not lost to drought or pests out in the open. It is lost after the harvest, sitting in a sack or bin, quietly going bad while no one is watching.

14%
of the world's food is lost after harvest, before it ever reaches a shop.
Estimate. FAO, The State of Food and Agriculture 2019.
$4B
of grain is lost in storage across Sub-Saharan Africa every year.
Estimate. World Bank, FAO and NRI, Missing Food, 2011.
48M+
people whose minimum yearly food needs that lost grain could have met.
From the same report, 2011.
Spoiled grain is more than lost income. Mold on damp grain can produce aflatoxins, natural toxins that are a recognized food safety hazard and are hard to remove once they form. A missed warning can reach the whole family's plate.

How it works

Four quiet steps between your grain and a warning.

01

Sense

It reads temperature, humidity, and the gases mold gives off as it starts to grow.

02

Think

A small AI model runs on the probe itself and predicts spoilage before you can see or smell it. No internet needed.

03

Send

When risk climbs, it sends a plain SMS over basic 2G to any phone, even a handset from ten years ago.

04

Act

You get the message in time to dry, move, or sell the grain, while it is still good.

No internet. No smartphone. Months of battery on a single charge, and one probe for every sack.

The whole interface

One text. Nothing to learn.

No app to open, no screen to charge, no account to set up. SEVORA speaks the language every phone already knows, a plain text in words a farmer can act on the moment it lands. This is the entire product, on whatever handset is already in their pocket.

Why SEVORA

Grain monitors exist. Not for this farmer.

Companies like AgroLog, iGrain, and OPI build sensor cables that run inside commercial silos and bins. They are priced at the system level, often thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, and they assume a smartphone or computer and a paid cloud account to read the data. None of that fits a farmer protecting a single sack. SEVORA was built for exactly that farmer.

Built for the silo
  • Sensor cables wired into large bins and elevators.
  • A smartphone, a computer, and a paid cloud account to read it.
  • Priced by the system, from thousands of dollars and up.
  • Made for the elevator, not the store room.
Built for the sack
  • One probe you push in by hand, in seconds.
  • A plain text to any phone, no app and no smartphone.
  • About $49, and it runs fully offline.
  • Made for the farmer these systems skipped.

Pricing

One probe. Forty nine dollars.

Priced to be ordinary, not a luxury. Cheap enough to sit in every store room, not just the ones with a budget for tech.

$49
per probe
  • Works fully offline, no internet ever
  • Warns days before spoilage takes hold
  • Months of battery on a single charge
  • Sends to any basic phone over 2G
  • One probe for one sack or bin
