In a bold move to contribute the revolutionising large-scale agriculture in Nigeria, Tractor on The Go (TOG), a subsidiary of Origin Tech Group, has disclosed that it’s launched groundbreaking tractor-hailing app, is to empower farming communities by providing affordable and accessible mechanisation support, enhancing farm productivity, and contributing to food security across the nation.
The agric company explained that this innovative platform was initially designed to tackle the challenges of low tractor density and limited access to mechanisation services among small-holder farmers.
Head of Tractor on The Go, Anthony Agbonlahor, said that, currently, it had been upgraded to still serve its initial purpose and also to provide equipment tracking and monitoring services.
He stated that Tractor on The Go was established to bring together stakeholders within the agricultural value chain, fostering seamless collaboration to deliver mechanisation services to small holder farmers in their communities, associations, and clusters.
According to him, the initiative is strategically designed to address the persistent lack of mechanisation support that has stunted the growth of small-scale farming in Nigeria. Anthony Agbonlahor, Head of “Tractor on The Go, said: “We recognise how crucial mechanisation is for improving farm productivity and securing the livelihoods of small holder farmers.
“Our goal is to break down the barriers that have historically limited farmers’ access to tractors and other essential equipment. Tractor on The Go isn’t just a service; it’s a movement dedicated to transforming agriculture in Nigeria and beyond.”
He added that the primary aim of Tractor on The Go was to ensure every farmer can access mechanisation services promptly, which will boost productivity and maximise returns on existing landholdings.
By strategically increasing tractor density across Nigeria, the Head TOG noted that TOG was paving the way for a sustainable and profitable agribusiness environment, ultimately contributing to the nation’s agricultural development.
According to him, “TOG offers cost-effective tractor services tailored to the needs of small holder farmers, helping them scale their operations efficiently.
“The project is also committed to training and mentoring young people, giving them the tools and knowledge to access and manage tractors when needed—without the financial burden of ownership—thereby fostering entrepreneurship within the agricultural sector.”
While speaking on the importance of the tractor-hailing app, the TOG chieftain stressed that the app’s vision included establishing a Mobile Tractor Centre in every state across Nigeria, ensuring that farmers have reliable and continuous access to mechanisation services.
