Banjoko AgriTech Solutions
Agricultural technology, built where it has to work
Monitoring, automation and farm management for Nigerian and African agriculture — developed on our own commercial farm before it is offered to anyone else's.
Our approach
Agricultural technology sold into Nigeria frequently fails for reasons that have nothing to do with agronomy: it assumes mains power, it assumes a reliable network, it assumes a technician within driving distance, and it assumes a farm manager who will keep using an interface that does not fit how the work is actually done.
Our response is to build for our own farm first. Every capability listed below is intended to run in production at Egbeda before it is offered commercially. A system proven on a working farm under real conditions is a reference. One that has only ever run in a demonstration is a brochure.
Over time, AgriTech Solutions is intended to earn independently of Banjoko’s own agricultural production, serving other commercial farms, estates and cooperatives in Nigeria and across Africa.
Current status
These are capabilities in development, not shipped products. No sensor, controller or monitoring installation is yet in operation at Banjoko, and nothing here is offered for sale today. We will say plainly when each capability is running in production on our own farm.
Technology roadmap
What we are building, and where each item stands
- In development
Smart irrigation and fertigation
Scheduled and sensor-triggered irrigation with nutrient dosing, sized for greenhouse and open-field use.
- In development
IoT environmental monitoring
Temperature, humidity, soil moisture, pH and electrical conductivity, reported continuously with alerting on threshold breaches.
- In development
Greenhouse automation
Ventilation, shading and irrigation control driven by measured conditions rather than a fixed timetable.
- In development
Poultry management
Bird inventory, mortality, feed and water consumption, egg production and house conditions in one record.
- In development
Aquaculture monitoring
Dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, circulation and equipment status, with alerting designed around how quickly a tank fails.
- Research
Livestock monitoring
Animal inventory, health records, feeding, breeding and veterinary treatment history.
- In development
Farm management software
Production records, inventory, procurement, sales and staff management, with role-based access and an audit trail.
- Research
Agricultural analytics and reporting
Production performance, input efficiency and financial dashboards built from the operational record.
- Research
AI-assisted crop monitoring
Image-based assessment of crop condition and early detection of disease and stress, applied where it is commercially justified.
- Research
Drone-assisted farm monitoring
Aerial survey of crop condition and site infrastructure.
Design principles
Four constraints that shape every decision
Works when the power does not
Grid supply is intermittent. Controllers hold their state, buffer their readings and resume without intervention, and anything whose failure is measured in hours — aeration above all — has an independent power path.
Works when the network does not
Monitoring that depends on continuous connectivity fails exactly when it is needed. Devices record locally and reconcile when the link returns, so a dropped connection costs data latency rather than data.
Useful before the sensors arrive
Manual entry of mortality, feed, egg collection and water readings is where a Nigerian farm actually starts. The software is built to be useful with a clipboard as its input, and sensors replace the clipboard later.
Honest about what is connected
Every reading is labelled live, manually entered or not installed. A dashboard that cannot distinguish a measurement from an estimate is worse than a notebook.
Running a farm that needs better measurement?
We are interested in speaking with commercial farms, estates and cooperatives about what would genuinely help, well before we have anything to sell.
