How it works

Made for everyone on the farm

One account can hold more than one role. A farmer who also owns a tractor can do both.

  1. Sign up with your phone number. No email needed.

  2. Add your farm by dropping a pin with your phone. Walking the boundary comes later.

  3. Choose your crops. CultivaNode builds your season plan and reminds you of each job.

  4. Find a tractor or farm hands near your farm. In the pilot you pay the provider directly.

On the market now

Safety first

Built on trust

  • Verified people

    Everyone who lists equipment or receives payments is checked with their NIN, BVN and bank account.

  • Pay the provider directly

    When you hire in the pilot, you pay the tractor owner or farm hand directly. Escrow (money held until you confirm the job) is coming once a licensed payment partner is signed.

  • Proof of work

    Coming next: providers check in at your farm and upload photos with location and time.

  • Honest ratings

    Coming next: only completed jobs can be rated, by both sides.
