Degas Limited, a global agri-tech company, will provide a $100 million investment to support Ghana’s vision of becoming an AI-powered agricultural hub.
This major investment was announced following a meeting in Yokohama, Japan, between Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama and Degas CEO Doga Makiura.
The investment will utilize AI-powered satellite imagery and precision farming techniques to support smallholder Ghanaian farmers, who form the backbone of the country’s food systems.
Degas has previously provided farmers in Ghana with credit and training.
Through this new project, cutting-edge technology will enable farmers to remotely monitor their farms, optimize resources, and predict crop yields.
This will modernize the sector and significantly improve food security.
Additionally, the project is expected to create thousands of new jobs in the agricultural sector.
