In Nigeria, farmers are part of the most underserved demographic in the country, lacking access to primary services for their farms’ development like warehousing and quality farm supplies, and also individual services like health care, insurance and so much more. A lack of services for economic development may seem like a problem that a large percentage of the Nigerian demographic faces, but as primary players in a sector that lies at the intersection of economic development and food security, farmers play an important role in ensuring the stability of the economy and country at large. 

Our commitment to making prosperity possible for farmers has driven us to consistently innovate on ways to make their lives easier and their farm businesses much more profitable. As seen across all our products we optimize for accessibility and ease and to help farmers get access to premium services at an affordable price margin we have launched the Beta Farmer Package.

We believe in the power of aggregation; the ability to offer quality services from a single point of access to the end user. The Beta Farmer Package embodies this concept in every way by giving farmers access to services and benefits based on a subscription model. We believe everyone deserves a “Beta Life”, particularly farmers. In this article we will go into the benefits subscribing to the Beta Farmer Package provides and how to get access to it. 

Benefits 

The “Beta Farmer Package” gives farmers 6 months of access to the five (5) benefits, seen below. 

1. Discounts on farm inputs: Farmers who subscribe to the Beta Farmer Package will have access to a 5% discount on farm inputs purchased from us. This eases the burden of cost placed on farmers and also ensures access to quality farm inputs in large amounts is possible even for smallholder farmers, all the while giving them the assurance of an accessible and trustworthy marketplace.

2. Warehouse storage service: A lack of an adequate and linked warehouse network has been a major cause of crop produce wastage in recent years. Farmers who subscribe to the Beta Farmer Package get access to warehouses to store their grains (up to 20 bags of grain) and farm produce for up to 6 months. These warehouses are situated all over Nigeria, at locations close enough to notable farming districts and communities for farmers to have easy access to. 

3. Health Insurance: Medical care should not be a luxury that only a few can afford. The cost of access to excellent medical care often automatically excludes people living in rural communities; which are places a majority of smallholder farmers are located. Farmers who subscribe to the Beta Farmer Package get access to healthcare at any hospital of their choice with a coverage of up to ₦50,000. This means farmers will get healthcare coverage for medication/medical services up to ₦50,000 for 6 months!

4.  Weather Advisory: Environmental and weather conditions play an important part in the success of a farming season. Predicting these conditions accurately is a challenge due to the ever-changing weather conditions and climate challenges. We help farmers who subscribe to our package overcome this obstacle by giving them access to accurate information on weather conditions via SMS (text messages to their phone number). 

Pricing

We are giving farmers access to these services to cover the major pain points that farmers have as regards the growth of their farm businesses. Accessibility is very important to us as a company, not just in the use of our services but also in our pricing. To make subscribing to this package accessible to smallholder farmers, we have implemented a flexible payment plan as seen below. 

Each payment plan comes with terms and conditions, which are further explained below.
