Agri-Smart’s Products
Technology that improves the livelihoods and food security
of subsistence farmers

BB2C is a social enterprise working
to improve the livelihoods and food
security of subsistence farmers. We
do this by offering profit making, and
labor saving agricultural solutions.
The Rudi Khmer Pump improves
vegetable production and water
management, providing vital access
to water for household use and
animal husbandry.
Our rice seeder ensures farmers
2
attain higher yields and improved
incomes. It does this by planting 1
hectare of rice in rows in less than 2
hours; a fraction of the time that it
takes to transplant seedlings. This
means farmers can improve the
results of their time-tested methods
with less intense labor.

with farmers to go from subsistence

Why choose the Rudi
Khmer Pump?
Benefits
1
Rudi Khmer Pump is a two-chamber
suction pump operated manually by use
of two treadle arms. It’s designed to
allow customers access to ground and
surface water.
This pump is durable, low cost and
easy to maintain. It allows farmers to
increase yields, irrigate crops easily as
well as to care for animals. It also allows
our customers to perform essential
household duties such as maintaining
and using toilets and washing clothes.
The pump is designed to get maximum
water pressure with minimal effort. An
individual who weighs 20 kg or more
can operate the pump, which means
children, the elderly, pregnant women,
and some disabled people can access
water.
The Rudi Khmer Pump is manufactured
in Cambodia, which means all sales
benefit local entrepreneurs.

Why choose our
rice seeder?
Benefits
1
The traditional rice planting method of
manual transplanting is effective, but
very labor intensive. As labor in rural
Cambodia is becoming scarce, many
farmers are forced to use less effective
planting methods such as throwing
(broadcasting) seeds into the field.
With Agri-Smart’s new Rice Seeder,
there is now a low labor way to achieve
the same results as farmers’ time tested
methods.
With this devise, a team of 2 can plant a
hectare in 2 hours. This is huge labor
savings compared to the 40 labor-days
required to manually transplant the
same field. The seeder uses air
pressure to seed the ground in rows,
which allows each plant enough space
to grow, and reduces by half the total
amount of seed used when compared
to current methods. Rows also allow for

tool-assisted and chemical-free
weeding, as well as more targeted
and efficient fertilizing. Furthermore,
crop yields using our machine meet
or exceed the results of transplanted
fields.
• Less labor intensive planting
• Improved crop yields
• Saves farmers money on seed and
fertilizer
• Eliminates use of environmentally
harmful herbicides
• Income generation and economic
development
• Manufacturing in Cambodia means
local businesses benefit
• Portable
• Easy to maintain and repair
• BB2C’s field staff provides training
