Ghana has received a significant boost in its drive for agricultural transformation with a major investment commitment from Degas Limited.
During a meeting in Yokohama, President John Dramani Mahama announced that Degas, led by CEO and founder Doga Makiura, will invest $100 million over the next four years to position Ghana as an AI-powered agricultural hub.
Degas has already supported over 86,000 smallholder farmers across 122,000 acres, helping to double their incomes while maintaining a 95% repayment rate.
The investment will leverage AI-driven satellite monitoring and precision agriculture technologies to strengthen agricultural value chains from inputs to markets, enhancing food security and creating more employment opportunities for Ghana’s youth.
This investment is seen as a strong endorsement of Ghana’s vision for integrated, technology-enabled agriculture, underscoring the country’s readiness to lead in modern agricultural development.
