What is CultivaNode?
CultivaNode is a mobile app and website for farm management and hiring. You can plan your crops, record your farm work, track your store and money, and hire tractors or farm hands near you.
How do I download and install the Android app?
You can download the official Android APK directly from our Download page (/en/download). Tap Download APK, tap Download anyway if prompted by Chrome, open the file, and tap Install. Sign in with your phone number to use offline field sync and AI crop diagnosis.
Who can use it?
Crop farmers, machinery owners, farm hands, machine operators, sprayers, mechanics and extension agents. Animal farmers can register now; livestock tools come in a later phase.
Do I need a smartphone?
A smartphone gives you the full app. If you don't have one, a CultivaNode field agent can register you and your farm, and important alerts come by SMS.
Do I need an email address?
No. You sign up with your phone number and a one-time code sent by SMS. Email is optional.
How is my money protected when I hire?
During the pilot, CultivaNode does not collect, hold or pay out money. You agree the price, pay the provider directly (cash or transfer), and both of you mark the job as paid. If something goes wrong, tell us in the app and our team will help. Protected payments, held by a licensed payment partner until you confirm the job, are planned after legal review; we will tell you before they start.
How much does it cost?
There is no charge for farmers or providers during the pilot. You pay the provider the price they show, directly. Our commission and full pricing will be published before protected payments start.
Which languages can I use?
English and Yorùbá on the website. The app and the farm assistant will also speak Pidgin. Igbo and Hausa will follow.
Is my information safe?
Yes. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. We store only masked ID numbers, and we never share your farm data with lenders, buyers or investors without your clear permission.
When does it start?
The pilot is planned to start with the early planting season, in selected communities across the South-West. Join the pilot and we will contact you.
