Shambafrica · Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Drones over the crop, good seed in the ground, grain kept safe after harvest, and a stage for the farmer at the end of the season. One Tanzanian company for the whole journey.
Tanzania. The seed point in our mark sits here, and the leaf grows out toward the ocean and the markets beyond it.
Karibu shambani
Shamba is Swahili for farm: the field a family works, the land that feeds a village. We joined it to the continent we serve. Shambafrica is building Africa's farm to world standards, with young people at the controls and the land looked after for the next generation.
01 · Signature service
GPS-guided drones apply pesticide, fungicide and foliar fertiliser a few metres above the canopy, metered plant by plant. No trampled rows, no wheel tracks, and no operator walking through chemical mist. Waterlogged, hilly or tall fields get treated in hours.
What we do
Each line stands on its own. Each is stronger because it connects to the other eleven. Book one service, or let us run the season end to end.
Pesticide, fungicide and foliar fertiliser from the air, and maps that show you where the crop is struggling.
Machinery with trained operators, from bush clearing to the combine, without the cost of owning a fleet.
Certified maize, clean seed potato and true-to-type seedlings, multiplied with trained outgrowers.
Dry, clean, graded and pest-free, and kept that way until the price is right.
Cereals, grains, spices and horticulture, from the farm gate to buyers at home and abroad.
Tanzania grows the seed. We crush, refine and bottle it close to the farm, so the value stays in the region.
Bees that lift yields in sunflower, coffee and fruit, and trees that pay their way.
Agriculture deserves prime time. Farm knowledge turned into stories people actually watch.
Where the agri-economy meets face to face, with our own cameras in the room.
Knowledge that pays in yield, taught on demo plots rather than in slides.
Loans, grants, tenders and programmes, found for the farmer and explained in plain Swahili.
The Shamba Huduma app and the Shambabot WhatsApp advisor, designed and built in Tanzania.
How it connects
Most companies own one link. We built Shambafrica to carry the whole journey, so the value made on the farm is still there when the produce reaches the market, and the farmer gets the credit on the night it matters.
Clearing, ploughing and ridging with our own crews.
Certified maize and seed potato, nursery seedlings, precision planting.
Drone spraying and aerial scouting of crop health.
Combine harvesting, shelling and threshing on schedule.
Drying, grading, fumigation and receipts you can borrow against.
Oilseed crushing and refining, honey and beeswax.
Commodity trading, e-commerce and the Opportunity Hub.
Expos, the Kilimo Marathon and the Mkulima Awards.

Sport · Youth · Rural economy
A road-race series through Tanzania's farming heartlands. It brings crowds, cameras and investment into rural districts, and shows young Tanzanians the opportunity in farming in a language they already love: sport.
Recognition · Innovation · Legacy
Mkulima means "the farmer". Anchored at the Nanenane show in Dodoma, the Awards honour outstanding farmers, young agripreneurs, women in agribusiness, innovators and environmental champions in a televised gala night that makes farming something to aspire to.
Sponsorship is open. Title and category partners, exhibitor packages, media partnerships and youth programmes.

Why youth
UN World Population Prospects, rounded.
Young people are not only agriculture's future. They are its present. Too many still see farming as hard, poor and old-fashioned. We want a generation to see it the way we do: modern, technical, profitable and worth celebrating, and then we want to hold the door open.
Our environmental commitment
Farming feeds Africa, and it depends on healthy land, water and weather. Looking after them is built into how we deliver every service, and into what we choose to celebrate.
Drone and spot spraying apply only what the crop needs.
No compaction from aerial work; conservation practice taught in the field.
Better drying, storage and handling cut post-harvest loss.
Beekeeping that lifts yields and keeps landscapes alive.
Nurseries, agroforestry and restoration planting.
Resilient varieties, water-wise practice, weather information.
Seed cake and by-products go back into the chain as feed.
Tree-planting pledges and waste-conscious expos and races.
Recognising environmental champions. The Mkulima Awards now include an Environmental Champion category for farmers, companies and individuals protecting land, water and biodiversity.

For partners, funders and buyers
We are building a model for African agriculture that is young, green and joined up from end to end. We are looking for partners who want the same thing.
Agriculture as a career of choice for Africa's youngest generation.
Productivity that protects land, water and biodiversity.
One partner from soil to market, and on to the stage.
A Tanzanian base with an Africa-wide ambition.
Whether you farm ten acres or ten thousand, run a processing plant, fund agricultural programmes or want your brand in front of rural and young Tanzania, we would like to hear from you.
