About Company

Our company, established in 2013, designs, manufactures and sells different types of agricultural machinery targeting mainly smallholder farmers. Our flagship innovation, the Aybar broad Bed Maker (BBM), which helps drain excess water from waterlogged fields, has reached more than 650,000 farmers with 150,000 units sold so far. We have also developed other types of agricultural machinery that promote climate smart agriculture and substitute import. Our innovations have been tested and approved by the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research. We now want to scale these innovations to grow our company and to enable farmers increase productivity and resilience to climate change. We want to achieve this by establishing youth led enterprises who will demonstrate and sell or rent our innovations to smallholder farmers.
