Farmers Easy Mobility Improvised Truck aka FEMIT or FEMItruck or FEMtruck
An experimental improvised truck project to ease the high level of smallholder farmers getting stranded after farm work and while taking their agrifood commodities to market...
The truck was fabricated to carry at least 8 farmers without load or 300kg worth of agro commodities.
The scope of the concept was to attach the truck to my second bike, a fairly used motorcycle that we use for farm operations then.
PLACE OF PROJECT/STARTING DATE
Kobape Town, Ogun State.
April, 2019
CHALLENGES LEADING TO STOPPAGE OF THE PROJECT
I initially faced challenges of lack of fund to complete the truck when it was already at about 70% completion.
Some weeks later, the motorcycle was also stolen while parked at the backyard of my lead farm worker.
CURRENT STATUS OF PROJECT
I finally disposed the truck as scrap in March 2021 after over 2 years at fabricators workshop.
