There is a missing middle in agricultural mechanization. Small-scale farmers are underserved by hand tools and by conventional machinery. Cradle exists to solve this problem.
These farmers produce 70% of the food in our markets, but conventional tools were never designed with their realities in mind. Cradle delivers modern machinery built specifically for small-scale farming, paired with intuitive digital tools that make access, use, and scale possible.
Our team brings deep experience in mechanization, public–private partnerships, and project delivery. We work alongside farmers, letting field realities shape our solutions and applying our expertise to turn proven ideas into scalable systems. Committed for the long haul, Cradle is transforming African farming with the farmers who power it.
Our values
We design and deliver farm services by staying close to the field, choosing what works over what looks good, and taking responsibility for the results on every acre we touch.
We design and operate for the farms that actually exist. Terraces, trees, uneven plots, and tight access are our standard conditions, and we adapt to the realities of such fields.
We focus on lowering costs, faster turnaround, and creating productive land. If a service does not save time or money for the farmer, it has no place at Cradle.
Land is a long-term asset. We work carefully to protect soil, crops, and future yields, and we walk away from jobs where responsible mechanization is not possible.
Optimize farm productivity, minimize constant labor supervision, and rapidly scale your harvest.
