Agtech startup Green Afro-Palms is on a mission to help smallholder farmers unlock the potential of palm oil in Ghana.
Ghana’s Wangara Green Ventures is an impact and climate focused fund supporting small and growing climate-friendly businesses.
The agribusiness marketplace for Ghanaian smallholders has raised $6.5 million in equity and $6.4 million in debt.
Ghana’s nascent agrifoodtech sector is active, but investors lack familiarity with the market while entrepreneurs are cautious of raising capital too soon.
It’s the startup behind grain trading and logistics platform CropChain and financial services provider LendIt.
The Ghanaian startup allows crowdfunders – which it calls ‘digifarmers’ – to invest in African smallholdings, and then digitalizes the ag value chain end-to-end.
