Ghana Secures $100M Investment to Become Africa’s First AI-Powered Agri Hub

Ghana secures $100M investment to first AI-Powered Agri Hub, bringing exciting changes to farming in the country and across Africa. This $100 million investment from Degas Limited, a big agri-tech company, will help Ghana become Africa’s first AI-powered agricultural hub. The news was shared after a meeting between Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama and Degas’ CEO, Doga Makiura, in Yokohama, Japan.

This four-year plan will use smart technology like AI and satellite images to help small farmers in Ghana. These farmers grow most of the food we eat, but often they don’t have the right tools or knowledge. Degas Limited has a system that helps farmers get the right seeds, tools, and training, plus credit to buy what they need. In other projects, this approach helped farmers double their incomes and 95% of them paid back their loans on time, showing it works well.

With AI-powered satellite images, farms in Ghana can be watched from the sky. This means farmers can use water, fertilizer, and seeds better and waste less. It also helps predict how much food the farm will produce. This is good for everyone — farmers get better harvests, sellers know what to expect, and families get more food on their tables. This investment will help improve the whole chain of food— from the farm to the market.

President Mahama called this $100 million investment a strong sign that the world believes in Ghana’s plan to mix farming and technology. The goal is not only to make farming better and grow more food but also to create lots of new jobs for young people in Ghana. Agriculture is very important to the country, and this project will give young people new chances to work with technology in farming.

Ghana secures $100M investment to first AI-Powered Agri Hub just when farming is changing everywhere because of new technology. This makes Ghana the first country in Africa to lead in using AI for farming, showing the rest of the continent what is possible. It also makes Ghana more attractive to investors who want to support projects that help farmers and grow the country’s economy.

What Ghana is doing can serve as a model for other African countries. It shows how using AI and technology can help small farmers grow more food, waste less, and earn better incomes. As Ghana leads the way with this $100 million investment, we can hope that many other countries in Africa will start using similar technology to improve farming and food security.

Ghana secures $100M investment to first AI-Powered Agri Hub with help from Degas Limited, and this will change farming in Ghana and Africa. By bringing together smart technology, good support, and money to help farmers, Ghana is building a stronger and more modern agricultural system. This project will help farmers grow more food, make more money, create jobs, and build a better future for the country. It shows how technology and the right investment can make a big difference in farming and in people’s lives.
