In a groundbreaking effort to transform agriculture in Nigeria, “Tractor on The Go” (TOG), a subsidiary of Origin Tech Group, has introduced an innovative tractor-hailing app. This cutting-edge service aims to address the critical issues of low tractor availability and limited mechanization access among smallholder farmers, providing them with the tools needed to enhance productivity and strengthen food security nationwide.
“Tractor on The Go” was created to unite key players in the agricultural sector, promoting collaboration to deliver essential mechanization services directly to farmers in their communities, associations, and clusters. This initiative is strategically designed to overcome the chronic lack of mechanization support that has hindered the growth of small-scale farming in Nigeria.
Anthony Agbolohan, Head of “Tractor on The Go,” emphasized the significance of this initiative: “Mechanization is vital for boosting farm productivity and ensuring the livelihood of smallholder farmers. Our mission is to dismantle the barriers that have traditionally restricted access to tractors and essential equipment. ‘Tractor on The Go’ is not just a service; it’s a movement committed to transforming Nigerian agriculture.”
The primary goal of “Tractor on The Go” is to ensure that every farmer can access mechanization services swiftly, thereby increasing productivity and maximizing the use of their land. By strategically boosting tractor density across Nigeria, TOG is laying the groundwork for a sustainable and profitable agribusiness landscape, ultimately advancing the nation’s agricultural sector.
TOG offers affordable tractor services tailored to meet the needs of smallholder farmers, enabling them to scale their operations efficiently. The project also focuses on training and mentoring young people, equipping them with the skills to access and manage tractors as needed, without the financial burden of ownership. This initiative fosters entrepreneurship within the agricultural sector and empowers the next generation of farmers.
The app’s vision includes establishing a Mobile Tractor Centre in every state across Nigeria, ensuring that farmers have consistent and reliable access to mechanization services.
Agbolohan added, “We encourage all farmers to join this transformative initiative. By leveraging technology and collaboration, ‘Tractor on The Go’ aims to overcome the challenges faced by smallholder farmers, making agriculture more productive and profitable for everyone.”
“Tractor on The Go” is committed to revolutionizing African agriculture, hectare by hectare. By tackling the challenges of low tractor density and limited mechanization, TOG empowers smallholder farmers to boost productivity, secure their livelihoods, and contribute to national food security.
