Hello Tractor

About

Hello Tractor’s AI-enhanced predictive modeling project, developed with Atlas AI, uses machine learning and remote sensing data to forecast where and when demand for tractor services will be highest, enabling more efficient allocation of tractors, optimizing fleet management, and helping smallholder farmers in Kenya and Nigeria access timely mechanization for improved productivity.

Impact

The predictive modeling initiative has successfully optimised tractor distribution to smallholder farmers in Kenya and Nigeria. This has resulted in improved access to machinery, lower operational expenses, and enhanced productivity.Over 5,000 farmers have received direct support, enabling them to plant earlier and increase yields. The project provides precise demand forecasting, more efficient tractor usage, and data-driven decisions regarding mechanization hub locations. These improvements have led to more timely and dependable tractor services, increased land cultivation, and greater financial inclusion for rural entrepreneurs.
