Imara Tech is addressing a lack of mechanisation and electricity access among smallholder farms in Tanzania by developing a portfolio of clean energy-powered agricultural machines. With 97% of these farms lacking machinery and less than half having community-level electricity, farmers are stuck with labor-intensive practices that limit productivity. Imara Tech’s initial products—a flour mill, peanut sheller, and oil press—are designed to enable off-grid farms to start profitable businesses by adding value to their harvests. With PREO funding, the company is scaling up local manufacturing and supply chains to ensure these machines, available in both AC and DC versions, can be widely deployed, with pilot testing throughout 2021 preceding full commercialisation.
