Agritech startups changing the face of agriculture in Nigeria

Over the years, Nigeria’s economy was solely dependent on agriculture. However, the huge revenue from crude oil production in the late 70’s and 80’s made agricultural productivity fall drastically.

However, because of the crash in global oil price in recent times, Nigerians have began to turn back to agriculture. Because of this trend, we have a lot of agro-startups springing out daily in Nigeria. All with the aim of solving the challenges faced in the agricultural sector of Nigeria.

Here is a list of few of the many agro-start-ups doing well in the industry.

Probity Farms

Probityfarms is a software designed to help farmers manage all their farm activities including crop and livestock. With the software, they are able to schedule tasks, track fertilizer usage and get SMS and email reminders of farm task. With the software,farmers are also able to capture sales, track expenses, calculate loans repayment and generate accounting reports.

The platform also offers farmer insights about farming activities powered by machine learning at each stage. For example, an alert can tell farmer not to apply fertilizer on particular days if the weather forecasts that it could rain.

The startup also provides advice through SMS to local farmers who have no access to Internet across rural areas in Nigeria.
