Crop Production
Production of arable crops such as maize, cassava and yam, and of tree crops such as oil palm — including the establishment of plantation crops that take years to reach maturity.
The problem this solves
Arable and tree crops fail for different reasons and on different timescales. A maize crop is lost in a season; a badly established plantation is a decision you live with for a decade. Each needs its own agronomy, and neither rewards improvisation.
Who it's for
- Smallholder farmers wanting more from the same land
- Commercial crop farmers running multiple fields or sites
- Landowners establishing an oil palm or other plantation
