About AgriConnect Jigawa

A digital marketplace and advisory platform built for smallholder farmers in Jigawa State, Nigeria.

Our Mission

Empowering Jigawa's farmers through technology

Agriculture is the backbone of Jigawa State's economy, with over 80% of rural households depending on smallholder farming for their livelihoods. Yet farmers continue to face exploitative middlemen, lack of price transparency, and limited access to expert advisory services.

AgriConnect Jigawa was built to close that gap — connecting farmers directly to buyers, providing real-time market prices from Dutse, Hadejia, and Gumel markets, and delivering crop-specific advisory in both English and Hausa.
