Wakíní Agritech is building the future of precision agriculture for smallholder farmers across West Africa. Our solar-powered IoT sensor network monitors soil moisture, nutrients, and microclimate data, delivering actionable insights via SMS and WhatsApp in local languages.
Named after the Yoruba word for "growth," Wakíní serves over 12,000 farmers in Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal. Our data shows farmers using our system increase yields by 35% on average while reducing water usage by 25%.
We're backed by the Gates Foundation, Google.org, and Y Combinator (W24). Our team of 70 agronomists, engineers, and community liaisons operates from Lagos with field offices in Accra and Dakar.
