From scattered harvest to clean grain
and real income.
Wobil builds hybrid solar-powered rice threshers and winnowers for smallholder farmers, cutting post-harvest losses, maintaining grain quality, and putting more money in farmers' hands.

Up to 46% of rice is lost after harvest.
Delayed, inefficient threshing and manual grain cleaning destroy a huge share of what smallholder farmers grow exactly when climate pressure makes every harvest count more.

Built for African fields, with more on the way.
Locally manufactured, hybrid solar-powered, and field-proven. Two machines in the field today, with more on the way.
Built by hand, in our own workshop.
Every Wobil machine is designed, fabricated and tested locally, at Suame Magazine in Kumasi. That means faster repairs, local jobs, and machines built for the realities of African fields.

Buy it, lease it, or just pay per bag.
We meet farmers where they are. No farmer should be locked out of mechanization by upfront cost.
Pay-per-use threshing
Farmers pay only for what they process, no machine to buy. Mechanization without the upfront cost.
Direct machine sales
Buy a thresher or winnower outright, with training and a 12-month warranty included.
Leasing & financing
12–24 months
Through partner financial institutions and agrifintechs, cooperatives can own equipment and pay over time.
Maintenance & after-sales
We keep machines running with spare parts, servicing, operator training and technical support.
We train women and youth to build businesses.
From food processing to sustainable farming to record keeping, our training helps rural communities turn skills into income, in partnership with Access Agriculture and local extension agents.

What farmers and partners say.
Real results from the communities we work with across Ghana.
Before Wobil, threshing took us days and we lost so much grain. Now we finish in hours and keep far more of our harvest.
The training gave the women in our group a real skill. Some have started their own small processing businesses.
Wobil's machines and service have made a measurable difference to farmer incomes in the communities we work with.
