President John Dramani Mahama has announced a $100 million investment into Ghana's agricultural sector to support the country's plan of becoming an AI-powered farming hub.The investment, which will be rolled out over the next four years, comes from Degas Limited, an international agricultural financing company led by CEO and founder Doga Makiura.The agreement was reached during a meeting between President Mahama and Mr.
Makiura in Yokohama, Japan.Degas has already financed more than 86,000 smallholder farmers across 122,000 acres of farmland, helping to double farmer incomes with a 95% repayment rate.The company uses artificial intelligence and satellite monitoring to support precision farming, improve yields, and build stronger agricultural value chains.President Mahama said the investment will boost food security, create more jobs for young people, and position Ghana as a leader in modern, technology-driven agriculture."This is a strong vote of confidence in Ghana's vision for integrated, technology-enabled agriculture and we are ready to deliver," he stated.By: Jacob Aggrey
