POINT OF ARBITRAGE

VISION
SUSTAINABLY END WORLD HUNGER
MISSION
Our mission is to ensure that sustainable farming and cultivation leads the fight against hunger. We are collaborative in our approach and empower both farmers and consumers to reach that goal by bridging the gap through the use of advanced agri-tech.
PARTNERSHIPS
We’re utilising our strong network of key cultural and tribal leadership to onboard farmers in large amounts efficiently. We are also forming strategic partnerships with key representative bodies including The All-Farmers Association of Nigeria (AFAN). We want to build the largest database of smallholder farmers in Nigeria.
INGROWERS & OUTGROWERS MODEL
We help to expose our farmers to better inputs and farm management techniques. We provide supervision, training (advanced farming and seeding methods) and more resilient inputs including improved seeds and fertilizer. Farmers are incentivised to improve crop yields with guaranteed sales based on their output.
IMMEDIATE IMPACT
We’re have gone live with the main cash crops including maize, cassava, soybean, cashews and yam. These crops have huge supply deficits in Nigeria. We’re addressing that gap in demand!
