Hello Tractor is an ag-tech social enterprise that connects tractor owners and smallholder farmers through a farm equipment sharing application. Rural, smallholder farmers often face labor and equipment constraints, resulting in under-cultivation, late planting, and lost income. Hello Tractor’s user-friendly software enables farmers to request affordable tractor services, while providing enhanced security to tractor owners through remote asset tracking and virtual monitoring. Farmers connected with a tractor share can plant 40x faster, driving improved food and income security for their families, their communities, and across the continent. Over the next 5 years, Hello Tractor will 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 in Nigeria.
