Straight answers to common questions.

Who can engage with ADECAT-MECHFARM programmes?

Our programme is designed for rural farming communities, farmers’ cooperatives, state agricultural bodies, and development partners. The proposed national coverage targets 37,000 farmers across 36 states and the FCT.

Does ADECAT-MECHFARM provide tractors directly to individuals?

The proposed model focuses on cooperative and state-level distribution, practical training on leased farmland, and shared equipment access rather than individual asset distribution.

Visit the Partnerships page or contact us directly at info@adecat-mechfarm.org. We welcome collaboration across government, private sector, finance, research, and community organizations.
