Rows of crops growing in a cultivated field
Tillara — Smart Farming for Nigeria

Real field data, for the farms Nigeria runs on.

Tillara puts sensors, data and automation into the hands of Nigerian farmers — so irrigation, fertilization and harvest decisions are driven by what's actually happening in the soil, not guesswork.

01 — The Gap

Nigeria farms almost entirely by eye.

Most Nigerian smallholder farms still run on manual observation — when to water, when to feed the soil, when to harvest are judgment calls, not measurements. It works, until a season doesn't behave the way the last one did.

02 — How It Works

Low-cost hardware. A dashboard farmers actually use.

Tillara combines field sensors, a farmer-facing dashboard, and predictive analytics — built for how Nigerian farmers already work, not adapted from a Western commercial-farm product.

Sensors in the soil

Low-cost hardware reading moisture, temperature and nutrient levels in real time.

Automation in the field

Irrigation and fertilization triggered by actual conditions, not a fixed calendar.

A dashboard on WhatsApp

Alerts and recommendations delivered where farmers already are — no new app to learn.

The global smart agriculture market is projected to pass this by 2030, driven by population growth and food security pressure. Nigeria and the wider West African smallholder market sit almost entirely outside that curve today — this is the opening Tillara is built around.

04 — The Platform

One system, built for the Nigerian farm.

An integrated toolkit that covers the full loop — from reading the field to acting on it — priced and distributed for smallholder reality.

01

Real-time monitoring

Live soil and crop condition tracking across every plot, viewable from a phone.

02

Automated irrigation

Water and fertilizer delivered on the field's actual schedule, not the calendar's.

03

Predictive analytics

Yield forecasting that gives farmers a head start before the season turns.

04

WhatsApp dashboard

Daily alerts and next-action guidance through the app farmers already use.

05 — How Tillara Earns

Built to reach farmers who can't pay full price alone.

Hardware creates the installed base, subscriptions make it recurring, and cooperative or government partnerships subsidize the farmers least able to pay upfront.

06 — Results So Far

Pilot plots are already showing it works.

Early pilots are drawing interest from farming cooperatives and agri-tech investors across Nigeria.

07 — Why Now

Africa's smallholders, built for — not adapted to.

Traditional agriculture relies heavily on manual methods, and existing agri-tech players tend to focus on limited, single-point solutions. Tillara is the full loop — monitor, automate, forecast, act — distributed the way Nigerian farmers already buy and communicate.

01

Cooperative-first distribution

One relationship unlocks many farms at once.

02

WhatsApp-first support

Onboarding and alerts where farmers already are.

03

Naira-friendly payments
