We deploy Agricultural Operating System (AOS, licensed from a third party) is a technology platform designed specifically for the agriculture industry. It integrates various data sources, such as weather, soil conditions, and crop health, to provide farmers with insights and actionable recommendations. We use AOS to optimize crop planning, irrigation scheduling, pest management, and overall farm operations, resulting in increased yields, reduced costs, and improved sustainability. Because we are passionate about transforming the way farming is done, we have introduced the following innovative practices to further drive our commitment of increasing yields per hectare:

Grains Processing/Improvement Services

This process involves transforming raw grains into better quality products through further cleaning, sorting, milling, and refining. The aim is to enhance their quality, texture, and nutritional value to meet market demands for convenient and nutritious grain products.

Agri-SMS Services:

We are leveraging digital channel such as SMS (Short Message Service) technology to provide agricultural information and updates to farmers. This includes weather forecasts, market prices, and farming tips, enabling farmers to make informed decisions and improve their farming practices.

Solar-Powered Grain Processing:

We are introducing solar-powered grain processing that uses solar energy to operate machinery and equipment for cleaning, sorting, milling, and refining grains. It is eco-friendly and cost-effective method that reduces reliance on traditional energy sources and promotes sustainable agriculture.

The Hemam Solar Irrigation Project – A Case Study of Our Sustainable Farming Solutions

In Ibaji, a remote farming community in Kogi State, over 250,000 smallholder rice farmers depend entirely on rainfall to grow food. When the rains delay or floodwaters rise, their entire harvest is at risk. No electricity. No irrigation. Just hope for good weather.

At Hemam, we believe farmers shouldn't have to rely on luck to feed their families and communities. That’s why we’re introducing off-grid, solar-powered irrigation systems—a practical, clean, and affordable way to help farmers grow food year-round.

Why This Matters:

Farming in Ibaji is tough. Between floods from the River Niger and long dry spells, many farmers can only plant once a year. This limits their income, puts pressure on food supply, and leaves thousands of families vulnerable.

With solar irrigation, farmers can now control when they plant and how often they harvest. It’s a game-changer.

What We’re Doing:

We’re starting with a pilot project covering 200 hectares of farmland, powered by a recent ₦340 million grant from the African Development Bank (AfDB).

Each solar system includes pumps, panels, and piping—designed to deliver water efficiently and affordably, without relying on fuel or grid electricity.Farmers will pay back the cost in grains over time—making it accessible without upfront cash. Just a small portion of their harvest repays the investment, allowing them to earn more and still meet their needs.

The Impact:

With solar irrigation, rice yields can jump from 1.5 tons to 9 tons per hectare annually. That’s 6 times more food and up to ₦9 million in yearly income per hectare.

In the next few years, we aim to reach 10,000 hectares, benefiting thousands of farmers and generating ₦90 billion in value for the local economy.By 2035, our goal is to expand across all 60 communities in Ibaji—impacting over 170,000 rural farmers.

Why It Works:

• Clean Energy: No fuel, no emissions—just reliable solar power.
• Farmer-Friendly Model: Pay in grains over 4 seasons. No cash barriers.
• Community-Owned: Local leadership, local technicians, and full farmer participation.
• Scalable: One successful pilot can unlock impact across entire regions.

We’re Just Getting Started:

We’re not just building irrigation systems—we’re building a more secure food future for Nigeria. But we can’t do it alone.

We’re looking for partners, investors, and organizations who believe in practical, scalable solutions for real farmers. Let’s work together to bring clean irrigation to the people who grow our food.Join us. Let’s turn sunlight into food, and farming into a year-round opportunity.
