Since 2018, TOHFAN's model has turned mechanisation into measurable prosperity — creating jobs, generating returns for partners and putting modern equipment in the hands of hundreds of thousands of farmers.

A footprint across Nigeria — and growing.
TOHFAN operates across 31 states and the Federal Capital Territory. In April 2019 we ran intensive agent-training tours in eight Northern states, building the local network that puts tractors within reach of more farmers.

Bringing women into a space long dominated by men.
TOHFAN deliberately recruits and trains women as booking and hiring agents. In just one year, women’s participation surged — proof that with the right forum and support, rural women can thrive in the mechanisation value chain.

“A space once dominated by men can be positively contested by rural women — once the right information reaches small groups of women farmers and the technicalities are broken down simply.”
“Nigeria has 84 million hectares of arable land, yet only 34 million hectares are cultivated. Every tractor we deploy narrows that gap — and moves the country closer to food security.”
Trusted by the communities we serve.
Traditional rulers across Northern Nigeria welcomed the TOHFAN team and threw their weight behind farm mechanisation for their people.
“Over 70% of activities in our state are related to farming. TOHFAN's deployment of mechanisation is the surest way to stimulate our youth to see agriculture as a real business.”

“Job creation like this — for booking and hiring agents in the mechanisation space — is a far better alternative for our people, and a real path away from the hardships the region has endured.”
Alhaji Umaru Bubaram Ibn Wuriwa Bauya
Emir of Potiskum
Yobe State
“If initiatives like this had kept our youth actively engaged earlier, much of the difficulty experienced across the North-East could have been averted in the first place.”
Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Mustapha

“This gesture shows the importance TOHFAN and Propcom attach to the growth of mechanisation in our state. I am pleased to invest by hiring tractors for the season myself.”
