About Nurseryz.io

From seed to auditable growth.

You shouldn't have to fund seedlings into a black hole. Nurseries shouldn't have to sell and hope. Smallholders shouldn't have to guess at shade preparation. We built Nurseryz.io so they won't.

The Knowledge Gap

Seedlings die.
Farmers lose.
We fix that.

Thousands of smallholder farmers across Northern Uganda are engaging in coffee, cocoa, avocado and tree planting — yet most receive their seedlings with no guidance on shade preparation, spacing, watering, weeding, or soil management.

Without knowledge, seedlings die within weeks. That's economic loss for the farmer and reputational damage for every nursery that sold them. Nurseryz.io closes that gap.

"I bought 200 cocoa seedlings. By the third month, only 40 were alive. I didn't know about shade trees."

The "Distribute & Hope" Problem

Governments & NGOs face a black hole of seedling distribution.

Billions of shillings are spent getting seedlings to villages. But without digital infrastructure, no-one knows if those seedlings are still alive six months later — creating three systemic failures that drain impact, money and trust.

01
🌫 The Survival Gap

The "Ghost Forest" Effect

Millions of shillings are spent on distribution, but without follow-up, survival rates can be as low as 20–30%. Funders have zero visibility into whether their investment is still alive six months later.

📋 Data Fragmentation

Fraud & Ghost Farmers

Records kept in physical books at parish level lead to "ghost farmers," double-counting of beneficiaries, and the inability to prove to international donors — the EU or World Bank — exactly where the money went.

📡 Extension Vacuum

The Advisory Desert

Once a farmer receives a seedling, they're left alone. Without timely advice on pruning or pest control, the "high-quality" seedling fails to reach yield potential — killing the project's long-term economic impact.

Built in Uganda, for Uganda.

We're hiring agronomists, software engineers and field officers who want to see distribution actually work. If you fund seedlings, plant them, or want to verify them — we'd like to talk.
