The Issue: No accessible method of efficient, high-quality threshing
In Tanzania, where over 70% of both the economy and the workforce rely upon small-scale agriculture. Traditional methods of threshing include beating the plant on the ground or on a platform using the upper body, or having animals walk over it. The process is arduous, time-intensive, and often, keeps children out of school during harvest time. These methods produce grain that is mixed with dirt, stone, or animal feces, and much of the grain remains on the stalk at the end of the process.

The only alternatives for smallholder farmers with a variety of crops are rented combines or specialized multi-crop threshers that run on diesel engines. However, these are completely inaccessible and unaffordable to the vast majority of smallholder farmers.

The Solution: The low-cost, high-impact MultiCrop Thresher
The MultiCrop Thresher in development is a low-cost, high-impact multi-crop agricultural processing machine that is easy to use under a variety of field constraints. A human-powered device, the thresher will be locally repairable, possibly locally manufactured, but, most important, at a price that makes is accessible to smallholder farmer in Tanzania.
