Over 100 million farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa suffer undue drudgery post-harvest losses up to 30 percent, grain breakage, up to 100 percent loss of profit for smallholder farmers, health hazard from dust pollution and children spend precious school days working on farms.

The average African farmer uses rudimentary tools to carry out post harvest activities i.e., mattocks, cutlasses, and sometimes their bare hands for farming.
