The opportunity
Mechanized farming as a pathway to national food security.
Across rural communities, the land and ambition are present. Affordable access to modern equipment, training, and market connections is not.
ADECAT-MECHFARM is the agricultural programme platform of Adecat Agricares Services Limited, a subsidiary of ADECAT Group Global Investments Companies Limited (RC 479879). Building on experience in equipment leasing, farm supply, and rural development partnerships, we are advancing a structured national mechanization programme in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Programmes designed around the whole farmer.
Each programme addresses a real barrier to agricultural productivity and connects to the next step in a farmer's growth.
Mechanized farming access
Procurement and deployment of Massey Ferguson and Chinese-brand HUATUO tractors with full implements, shared machinery hubs, and operator training for rural smallholders.
Farmer capacity development
Structured training covering tractor operation, maintenance, safety protocols, plantation farming, rice farming, and dry-land farming across 36 states and the FCT.
Cooperative empowerment
Partnerships with farmers’ cooperatives, community-based organizations, financial institutions, and government to strengthen collective decision-making and market access.
Food security & sustainability
A seven-year phased programme designed to increase agricultural productivity, improve food security, and build durable rural enterprises across Nigeria.
In the field
Knowledge becomes confidence when it is practised on real farmland.
Keys to success
