CEO of Accra Agri-Tech Startup FarmPlus Secures Reveals Plans in Ghana agri-tech startup Journey
CEO Ebo Sackey revealed plans to launch operations in Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire by Q3 2025, aiming to double user numbers. The app, which saw a 300% uptake in Ghana last year, offers localized advice on crop rotation, pest control, and financing.
The investment underscores confidence in Africa’s agri-tech sector, projected to grow by 25% annually. A GreenTech spokesperson highlighted FarmPlus’s success in boosting maize yields by 40% for partner farmers in Ashanti Region.
Skeptics question scalability due to fragmented land ownership and language barriers. Sackey addressed this, stating, “We’re hiring regional coordinators and adding French-language support to ensure accessibility.”
FarmPlus’s expansion aligns with the AU’s Agenda 2063 goals for food security. If replicated regionally, it could transform livelihoods for millions of small-scale farmers.
