Shared national infrastructure for Nigerian agriculture

Every farmer gets an agronomist.
No smartphone required.

Ask a farming question on any phone, in your own language. You get an answer built around your soil, your crop and this season — not a general leaflet. And if the system isn't sure, a real expert checks the answer before you ever see it.

Calling is free. USSD and SMS cost your normal network rate, with nothing added on top. Only WhatsApp uses data.

Start a question on USSD, finish it on WhatsApp. The conversation follows the farmer, not the channel.

How it works

Four steps, and you never see three of them

01

You ask

In Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Pidgin or English. If the question isn't clear, it asks you what you meant.

02

It looks up your land

What your soil is like where you are, and what works for the crop you're growing.

03

You get an answer

Short, in your language, and specific enough to do something with today.

04

A person checks

If the system isn't confident, the answer stops and an expert looks at it first.

How we keep it honest

When it doesn't know, it says so — and asks someone who does

A question about goats goes to the people who spend their lives on livestock. A question about cassava goes to the people who spend theirs on cassava. And when one of them fixes an answer, the fix stays fixed — so the next farmer who asks the same thing gets the better answer straight away.

If it isn't sure

Last mile

Farmers and extension agents

Answers on the phone already in your pocket. Agents can see what farmers have been told, call them back, and flag anything that came out wrong in the local language.

Government

This is public plumbing, not somebody's app. Hosted in Nigeria, built on open standards, and every answer it has ever given can be traced back and checked.

Private sector

Agribusiness

Find out what farmers are actually asking for, where, and in which week — then reach exactly those farmers. What you learn stays yours. No other partner can see it.

Knowledge

Research and training institutions

Your guidance stops sitting in a PDF. Publish it once and it reaches farmers in every language, on every channel. Correct an answer here and it becomes the answer everyone gets.

Emergency alerts

If something is spreading, you hear about it in minutes

A disease moving through the area, armyworm, a storm coming in. The warning goes only to farmers in that area growing that crop — by call, text and WhatsApp at the same time. No noise for everyone else.
