DATA & ANALYTICS

The Data Deficit Blocking Agricultural Growth

Over 50 million smallholder farmers in Nigeria produce most of the country's food and support rural economies, playing a crucial role in food security and poverty reduction. Despite significant investments, the sector remains underfinanced and underperforming due to a lack of farm-level data needed by banks, agribusinesses, and agencies to provide targeted support and scale solutions.

  • Offline-First Logging

    Over 30% of public subsidies and interventions are misallocated due to imprecise targeting and weak monitoring.

  • Farmers

    Without collateral or farm records, farmers are excluded from formal financing and unable to invest in productivity-enhancing inputs.

  • Financial Institutions

    Even where pilots succeed, banks lack the data visibility needed to scale financial products or de-risk portfolios regionally.

  • Agribusinesses

    Post-harvest losses and uncoordinated supply chains lead to 40%+ shortfalls in raw materials for food processors.
