The Challenge: Why Precision Matters

Farming in Africa, particularly in Nigeria, is critical to food security but outdated farming methods are holding farmers back. Inefficient application of fertilizers and pesticides leads to massive waste—up to 50% and 60%—costing farmers more money and reducing effectiveness. Crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa remain among the lowest globally, averaging just 1.5 tons per hectare compared to a global average of 3.9 tons. Labour-intensive practices further limit efficiency, with farmers taking days to manually spray small plots, while overuse of chemicals and poor irrigation degrade soil health, pollute water sources, and accelerate desertification.

AdinLabs is here to transform these challenges into opportunities through innovative precision agriculture solutions by empowering farmers to grow smarter, waste less and produce more sustainably.

The Solution: AdinLabs’ Precision Agriculture

Precision Agriculture is a modern farming approach that uses technology like drones, sensors, and GPS to help farmers grow crops more efficiently. By gathering data about the soil, weather, and crops, farmers can make better decisions on where and when to use water, fertilizers, and pesticides. This leads to less waste, healthier crops, and bigger harvests, all while saving time and money. It’s about doing more with less, helping farmers increase productivity and protect the environment.

At AdinLabs, we are transforming the way farming is done by leveraging cutting-edge drone technology specifically designed to tackle the unique challenges faced by Nigerian farmers. Our solutions are tailored to address inefficiencies in resource application, reduce labour costs, and improve crop yields by combining precision, speed, and sustainability with the following benefits:

Reduce Waste: Precision application saves farmers money on fertilizers, pesticides, and water. Our solution delivers precise amounts of fertilizers, pesticides, and water only where needed. This eliminates wastage by 30% and saves money.

Higher Yields: Farmers adopting precision agriculture in Northern Nigeria have reported yields of up to 4 tons per hectare compared to the national average of 1.5 tons. Our solution ensures even application of inputs, improving the quality and market value of crops.

Save Time: Precision technology reduces spraying time by 90%, allowing farmers to focus on other critical activities. With our solution, farmers can reduce dependence on costly seasonal labour.

Sustainability: Efficient water usage prevents over-irrigation, a critical concern in the Sahel region. Precision application cuts chemical runoff into rivers and aquifers, protecting local ecosystems. Our solution protects the environment by minimizing overuse of resources and preserving soil health.
