In line with the Nigerian Federal Government’s goal of increasing smallholder access to mechanization, a deal has been signed between the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) of Nigeria and John Deere to supply 10,000 tractors into the country while Hello Tractor supports management of this large fleet with our telematics device. These tractors are estimated to bring 9 million hectares of land into production, creating 37 million metric tons of additional food and adding over 2 million direct and indirect jobs.
