sproot digitizes contract farming (outgrower management) to make smallholder agriculture in Africa more efficient, scalable, traceable and profitable.

Agribusinesses rely on smallholders but struggle with manual processes, side-selling, and financial risk. Farmers, in turn, lack access to finance, quality inputs, and structured markets – leading to low yields and unstable incomes.

sproot provides a specialized ERP platform that digitizes input tracking, contract compliance, and farm monitoring, while integrating farmers via WhatsApp / SMS for real-time agronomic advise.

Our subscription model combines a fixed base fee with a per-farmer charge that decreases with volume, ensuring affordability for agribusinesses while enabling scalable, long-term growth. With a $1T agriculture market in Africa by 2030, sproot is unlocking a high-growth, impact-driven opportunity in a largely untapped sector.
