Facilitating farmers’ access to mechanisation and job creation through innovation

With support from The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA), through a call for proposal, Hello Tractor an agriculture technology social enterprise has been selected to implement ICT-enabled smallholder mechanisation services with the objective to create jobs for youth across Nigeria and Kenya over a one-year period. Hello Tractor has a bold vision to create sustainable value for tractor owners and to radically transform how the smallholder agricultural ecosystem interacts with and derives value from technology. The enterprise connects tractor owners and smallholder farmers in Africa through a digital tractor sharing application. By creating equitable access to tractor services, the enterprise enables smallholder farmers to earn more and grow more, improving livelihoods and food security for their families and communities. The project has been implemented for 15 months from 12/02/2019 (date of signature) to 15/04/2020.
