Thresher Impact & IoT future

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Africa’s economy, and yet, the sector faces significant challenges, particularly for smallholder farmers. Post-harvest losses, labor shortages, and the high cost of imported machinery are just a few of the obstacles impeding agricultural productivity and profitability. Enter SAYeTECH, an innovative agritech company that is transforming the agricultural landscape with its Multi-Crop Thresher. This remarkable machine not only addresses these challenges but also delivers profound social and economic benefits.

Serving 100 Farmers Per Harvest Season

One SAYeTECH Multi-Crop Thresher is capable of meeting the threshing needs of 100 farmers during a single harvest season. This scalability is crucial for smallholder farmers who often rely on manual labor for threshing, a process that is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. By mechanizing this critical stage, SAYeTECH significantly enhances efficiency and productivity, allowing farmers to focus on other essential aspects of farming and community life.

Saving 10.8 Tons of Grains from Post-Harvest Losses

Post-harvest losses are a major issue in African agriculture, with millions of tons of produce wasted annually due to inadequate processing and storage. SAYeTECH’s thresher tackles this problem head-on, saving up to 10.8 tons of grains from being lost on the threshing floor each season. This substantial reduction in waste not only boosts food security but also enhances the profitability of farming, ensuring that more produce reaches the market.

Feeding 170 Families Per Year

The grains saved from post-harvest losses by one SAYeTECH thresher can feed approximately 170 families annually. This impact on food security is particularly significant in regions where access to sufficient, nutritious food is a persistent challenge. By preserving more of the harvest, SAYeTECH helps to ensure that more families have reliable access to food, contributing to healthier, more stable communities.

Creating Jobs for Rural Youth

Job creation is another critical benefit of SAYeTECH’s technology. Each thresher generates three jobs for rural youth, addressing the urgent need for employment opportunities in rural areas. These jobs are not just about earning a livelihood; they also provide young people with skills and experience in agricultural technology, fostering a new generation of skilled workers who can drive further innovation and growth in the sector.

Broadening the Impact: SAYeTECH’s IoT Vision

SAYeTECH’s impact extends beyond the immediate benefits of its Multi-Crop Thresher through the integration of cutting-edge IoT technology. Each thresher is equipped with IoT devices and mobile app connectivity, transforming traditional farming practices into a modern, data-driven enterprise. This technology empowers farmers with a suite of functionalities that streamline their operations and open new avenues for growth.

Farmers can access prompt maintenance services and order spare parts directly through the mobile app, ensuring that their machinery remains in optimal working condition. The IoT-enabled threshers gather vital data about harvests and farm conditions, allowing farmers to make informed decisions and optimize their practices.

SAYeTECH’s app also provides farmers with access to a marketplace of agricultural inputs, buyers for their harvest, and financial services. This connectivity helps farmers to secure necessary resources, find profitable sales channels, and access credit or insurance products tailored to their needs.

SAYeTECH envisions an IoT-backed approach to mechanized farming that offers enhanced functionality and remote monitoring. This approach not only improves the efficiency and effectiveness of farming operations but also creates limitless opportunities for owners and supply-chain stakeholders. Remote monitoring capabilities allow for real-time oversight and management of threshing operations.

The integration of IoT in SAYeTECH’s threshers represents a significant leap forward in agricultural technology. By providing farmers with tools and information to improve their operations, SAYeTECH is fostering a more connected, efficient, and sustainable agricultural sector.

Conclusion

The SAYeTECH Multi-Crop Thresher is more than just a piece of agricultural equipment; it is a catalyst for economic and social change. By serving 100 farmers per season, saving 10.8 tons of grains, feeding 170 families, and creating jobs for rural youth, SAYeTECH is helping to build a more prosperous, food-secure future for Africa. As the company continues to scale its operations and expand its impact, the benefits for smallholder farmers and rural communities will only grow, demonstrating the transformative power of smart agricultural technology.

Empowering Women Farmers in Northern Ghana with Agricultural Machinery – Powered By FEED THE FUTURE

For 500 smallholder women farmers in five communities in the Yendi Municipality, located Ghana’s Northern region, the arduous days of manual soybean threshing are becoming a memory, thanks to the grant from USAID supported Feed the Future Ghana Trade and Investment Activity and the innovation of SAYeTECH.

Traditionally, these hardworking women would spend countless hours in the fields, thrashing soybeans with sticks to extract the precious beans. This painstaking process not only demanded immense physical labor but also risked damaging the crops and led to significant post-harvest losses. The dream of efficient farming seemed distant, as the lack of access to modern agricultural machinery left them bound to time-worn methods.

But change was on the horizon. With the introduction of five multi-crop threshers funded by USAID and provided by SAYeTECH, a new era of convenience and efficiency dawned. The machines arrived like heralds of hope in the communities of Zang, Zagbang, Nakpachi, Gukpegu, and Kpasani, transforming the post-harvest season into a period of celebration and prosperity. A staggering 54 metric tons of soya was threshed in just one harvest season, saving each farmer up to a month of arduous threshing time.

The impact was immediate and profound for Musah Afishetu, a 40-year-old farmer among the first to experience the thresher’s efficiency, she marveled at how quickly her heaped soybeans turned into market-ready produce. “It’s like watching years of struggle melt away in a few hours,” she shared, her voice tinged with emotion and disbelief.
