Our Partners
Who we serve: people behind every acre
We train Booking Agents (extension and field agents) to support farmers in booking mechanization services and delivering agronomic guidance, empowering them on the path to tractor ownership through PAYG and agri-entrepreneurship.
We train and certify tractor operators in collaboration with local universities and TVET partners, while also upskilling and certifying technicians across our hub territories. This dual-track approach ensures a strong, professional workforce to support sustainable mechanization.

We train farmers using demo plots and practical field prescriptions. These hands-on sessions, held both at the hub and within local communities help farmers learn and apply proven farming techniques in real-world conditions.

Africa’s Mechanization Challenge Is Bigger Than the Machines
By Quinta Onditi Across sub-Saharan Africa, agriculture remains the backbone of livelihoods, employing nearly half of the region's workforce while contributing roughly one-fifth of GDP. At the same time, the continent is home to nearly 60% of the world's remaining uncultivated arable land, yet crop yields continue to lag significantly behind the global average. The paradox is striking: Africa possesses immense agricultural potential, yet productivity remains constrained by limited mechanization

By James Macharia Selling a tractor takes a handshake. Keeping a customer profitable, season after season, takes a company willing to still show up long after the sale is closed; and that's the part almost no competitor is built to sustain. Handing someone a tractor is the easy part. Anyone can do that. What happens in the months and years after? That's the part almost nobody wants to build, because it's slower, harder to showcase, and doesn't show up neatly in a sales report. I think about t
Why Africa Doesn't Need More Tractor Owners
By Folu Okunade Africa's mechanization challenge is not simply about owning more tractors. It is about building the systems that make tractors productive. For decades, conversations about agricultural mechanization in Africa have been dominated by one statistic: the continent has far too few tractors. Sub-Saharan Africa has fewer than two tractors per 1,000 hectares of cropland, compared with around ten in South Asia and Latin America. Read in isolation, those figures make the solution seem st
