Our Story

 

The seeds of Nutravest were sown in 2020 when our co-founder, Bayo Herbert, witnessed a common struggle in his own family. His uncle, a hardworking farmer, faced the frustrating reality of limited market access and the sting of unfair prices offered by middlemen. This experience wasn't isolated; it was a reflection of the challenges faced by countless smallholder farmers across Africa.

Inspired to make a difference, Bayo Herbert, along with co-founders Nasanga Joan, Kisekka Daniel, and Ogwang Thomas, launched Nutravest in 2021. Their mission was clear: to empower these vital contributors to our communities by connecting them directly with reliable buyers, providing innovative tools to improve their practices, and equipping them to navigate the growing impacts of climate change.

Our Journey Empowering farmers

 

The Crisis in Our Feilds: What farmers face

For millions of smallholder farmers, persistent poverty is a daily reality, deeply rooted in a broken agricultural system. They face erratic weather and devastating climate shocks, causing significant income loss and crop failures. Simultaneously, unfair markets and a lack of produce recognition deny them fair value for their hard work. Nutravest refuses this; our mission is to empower farmers to overcome poverty, adapt to climate change, and foster sustainable income growth.


Our Integrated Approach: Driving Tangible Impact

Our mission at Nutravest provides vital, integrated tools and resources that boast farmer resilience and revenue. We achieve this through comprehensive, tech-driven solutions and strategic partnerships.

Our Drone-powered crop insurance creates a crucial financial safety net. This, with local insurance partnerships, protects farmers from climate losses, ensuring income stability and rapid recovery. We revolutionize sales with direct market access tools, connecting farmers to reliable buyers and eliminating middlemen. This secures fairer prices and drastically reduces post-harvest losses by up to 30% via partnerships with ago-processors and logistics. finally, AI-driven traceability enhances crop value and transparency, helping farmers access premium markets and fair compensation.
