About the startup

We realize that helping farmers increase their yield presents a new business opportunity for us to address Nigeria’s $4.1 billion annual food import market. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the global supply chain, forcing companies and governments to explore new ways of boosting regional food production thereby reducing the effect of global shock on businesses.
The real question is, why is food import cheaper? We did the maths and found the secret is in the quality of crop yield.

Small farmers today are producing less food than they did 30 years ago! This is shocking, especially when you consider that they have steadily expanded the size of their farms. Across the country, countless farmers have struggled to make ends meet, unable to save money and secure their job.

We rely on satellite remote sensing to generate crop-specific intelligence for each farmer; such information ranges from soil nutrient level, crop-specific fertilizer requirements, weather forecast, crop health status, the best time for planting/harvesting, access to tractors, improved varieties, fertilizer, chemicals, access offtakers and more.
