A new smartphone app has launched in Kenya and has provided much needed change to the country's farmers.

'Hello Tractor' allows farmers who cannot afford their own machines to connect with tractor owners and hire their services.

App founder Jehil Oliver, says farmers in African nations are reliant on rain fed to agricultural systems, that forces them to plant on time to maximise their yield. 

Since the region lacks access to the labour to support the farmers in time, 'Hello Tractor' provides farmers with easier access to machinery which greatly increases production.
