An innovative app developed by Nigerian students can now tell you in seconds if a mango is ripe, underripe, or spoiled. Valour, an AI-powered mobile app, employs advanced computer vision and machine learning to accurately measure fruit ripeness, a breakthrough that could change how consumers and farmers handle fruit quality.

Valor App revolutionizes fruit ripeness detection

The Valor app was created by three students from Caleb University: Harmony Abayomi, Frida Efod, and Chibuzor Nwachukwu. They combined their expertise in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, and Software Engineering to build this tool. Their application earned first place at the Bell’s University Hackathon, and they announced their accomplishment on Friday.

Abayomi explained, “Our app uses the power of AI to solve a major problem in the agricultural sector by detecting the ripeness, spoilage, and even diseases of mangoes.” The app’s ability to detect early signs of disease is particularly valuable, helping prevent crop infections and reduce losses.

The Acting Vice Chancellor of Caleb University, Prof Sunday Adewale, praised the team’s success as a testament to their commitment to innovation and real-world problem-solving.

Valor analyzes images of mangoes using sophisticated image processing techniques. It classifies the fruit’s condition quickly and accurately, overcoming the unreliability of traditional visual inspections, which often lead to waste or consumer dissatisfaction.

AI and machine learning power real-time fruit quality assessment

The app leverages computer vision and machine learning algorithms to evaluate mango ripeness levels. This technology is fast and reduces fruit wastage by helping vendors and consumers make better decisions.

According to the developers, “Detecting ripeness and spoilage in mangoes remains a challenge. Overripe fruits cause wastage, while underripe ones disappoint consumers. Our app offers an objective, reliable solution”.

Valor’s development aligns with a growing trend of AI applications in agriculture, aiming to optimize harvest timing and improve food quality. Unlike some apps that require external devices, Valor functions solely through a smartphone camera, making it accessible and practical for everyday users.

The app also promises to expand beyond mangoes to other fruits, potentially reducing food waste on a larger scale. By providing immediate feedback on fruit freshness, Valor empowers farmers, sellers, and buyers to make informed choices, enhancing the entire supply chain.

This breakthrough innovation from Nigerian students highlights how technology can address everyday problems with practical solutions. Valor’s success at the hackathon and its real-world applications demonstrate the power of AI to transform agriculture and consumer habits.
