LinkedInAbout sproot
sproot is the operating system for contract farming. We built it because we have worked inside outgrower schemes for years, and we knew there had to be a better way.
Our story
Outgrower schemes are one of the most under-served parts of the agricultural supply chain. The agribusinesses running them deal with thousands of smallholders, paper records, fragmented tools, and audits that swallow weeks of work. The software they had to work with was built for warehouses and factory supply chains, not for the realities of contract farming.
sproot was built by people who have seen that gap from the inside. Our team has spent years selling irrigation systems to agribusinesses across Africa, walking the fields and sitting with field officers as the same operational chaos played out scheme after scheme. That field experience is paired with deep backgrounds in software, in scaling a global IT consulting firm, and in finance, and with a team in Nairobi who live this work every day.
One system. Designed for this work. Used by the people who actually do it.
Where we are
Where most of our team is based. Where we work with our clients, walk the fields, and test every feature against the daily reality of running an outgrower scheme.
Where the company is headquartered. Where we work with international agribusinesses, certifiers, and partners.
The team
Four founders. Four senior team members in Nairobi. We would rather you knew us than a logo.

LinkedInHow we work
Every feature in sproot started with a real conversation in a real field.
If our team would not trust it on a field visit, it does not go live.
Outgrower relationships run for years, and the software that holds them has to last just as long. We build, price and support sproot for that horizon, not for a quick win.
