Farming employs nearly 60 percent of the African population, but farming equipment can be hard to access across the country. Hello Tractor is a startup determined to bridge this gap by serving over 500,000 farmers via a mobile application built on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

To learn more about how Hello Tractor is connecting farmers to equipment and in turn opening new financial opportunities, the Fix This team spoke to Jehiel Oliver, founder and chief executive officer at Hello Tractor.
