Fermachi

About us

The operating system for mechanized agriculture.

We started Fermachi with one question: what would farming look like if smallholders had the same access to machines, finance, and markets as large estates?

Farmers in field

Our story

From one tractor to a continent-wide network.

Fermachi began in 2014 with a simple idea: pair the smartphone in a farmer’s pocket with the tractor parked at the edge of the village.

Ten years on, we coordinate more than five million acres of fieldwork a season across more than twenty countries — and the network is still growing.

We’re a team of agronomists, engineers, financiers, and booking agents — but most of us are farmers first.
