Supremarts is looking to remedy the impact of climate change and excessive use of chemicals through locally made technologies that optimize irrigation and control pests to drive all-year-round farming. Our solution has boosted farmer yield by 20%, using 3x less water, sensors, and pipes than the average irrigation system.
Water scarcity profoundly impacts African lives, notably in Nigeria, where it destabilizes the primary livelihood of its 34.5 million farmers. Typically earning $1.456 annually, these farmers rely on crops like rice and yam, which demand consistent water supply for optimal yield. Unpredictable rainfall patterns, exacerbated by global warming, severely compromise crop quality and quantity. This instability thrusts 25 million Nigerians into the peril of food insecurity annually.
This challenge transcends Nigerian borders, affecting 150 million Africans and 333 million people globally.
