It all started in 2016 during the farming season, when our Co-founder – Moses Yangnemenga was in Nandom as usual to support his father on the farm. That year – 2016 was not different, despite toiling for months on the farm, harvest were meagre. Because, Moses’ father did not have the cash to pay for fertilizer, seeds and other farm inputs upfront. Looking around, Moses observed that, this was a peculiar issue among all the farmers in his community. Farmers often plant their crops and then go to look for money to buy fertilizer and when they finally get the money to buy the fertilizer, the crops have already grown stunted. As such, they harvest little even when they apply fertilizer. Eventually, farmers become less interested in the use of fertilizer.

Thinking about this issue, Moses founded TIEME NDO a high impact social enterprise aimed at shaping rural farmers aspirations by providing them regular and timely access to improved basic farm inputs such as fertilizer, seeds, agrochemicals and agriculture support services like training, extension services, tractor services and market to sell the produce. Far beyond TIEME NDO’s commitment to increase crop yields and end hunger among rural farmers is to train farmers how to add value to their farm produce before sending to the market to sell or before they consume.

TIEME NDO is still young and in this 2018, the startup is looking forward to change the way rural farmers view agriculture. If you are young woman or man with the desire to farm, TIEME NDO is your best friend. Reach out to us and we will help you.
