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.
