The problem

Ghana's 2M+ smallholders make critical decisions with zero data.

When to plant. Which fertilizer. Whether to spray. How much to expect at harvest. These decisions define profitability — but farmers have no systematic way to optimize them.

Extension services can't scale. Input retailers sell products, not advice. Weather forecasts don't translate to farming actions. The gap between research and reality costs Ghana 1.2M tonnes of maize annually.

$26B
Africa's annual yield gap — the difference between what farms produce and what they could produce with better intelligence.

Our mission

"Software is no longer enough. In a market with broken logistics and zero credit, the only way to solve the yield gap is to build the operating system that owns the data, the inputs, and the contract."
