From seed to market β€”
every Nigerian farm supported

Over 25 million Nigerians face food insecurity while 70% of the population farms. The gap is not effort β€” it is storage, market access, and knowledge. CARE AFRICA fills that gap at every Smart Hub.

01 β€” What We Provide

Five services. One farming ecosystem.

CARE AFRICA integrates agriculture into every Smart Hub β€” from planting advice to market sales, all in one platform.

🌱

Community Farms

CARE AFRICA registers and supports community farm cooperatives β€” providing land mapping, crop planning, organic fertiliser production, and ongoing agronomy training through the Smart Hub.

🌾

Harvest Tracking

Every harvest is logged digitally β€” crop type, yield weight, date, and farm ID. This data drives school feeding supply, cold room planning, and national food security analytics.

❄️

Food Storage

Solar-powered cold rooms at every hub prevent the 30–40% post-harvest losses that destroy Nigerian farmers' incomes. Produce is stored, graded, and sold at fair prices.

πŸ€–

AI Crop Diagnosis

Farmers photograph diseased crops or describe symptoms via USSD. Our AI identifies the problem, suggests treatment, and alerts the hub agronomist if the issue is widespread.

πŸͺ

Market Linkage

CARE AFRICA connects cooperatives to buyers β€” schools, hospitals, urban markets, and export agents β€” through the platform marketplace. Guaranteed offtake, fair prices, no middlemen.

03 β€” AI Crop Advisor

A agronomist in every farmer's pocket

Nigerian farmers lose billions annually to undiagnosed crop diseases. Our AI crop advisor gives every farmer access to expert-level diagnosis in seconds.

01

Photograph or Describe

The farmer photographs a diseased plant or describes the symptoms via USSD *347# or the CARE AFRICA app β€” in any Nigerian language.

02

AI Diagnosis

The AI analyses the image or description, identifies the crop disease or pest, and cross-references with the local crop type and season.

03

Treatment Plan

An immediate treatment plan is returned β€” organic or chemical options, dosage, application method, and a follow-up visit from the hub agronomist for severe cases.
