More than 310 million people in West Africa experience severe food insecurity, particularly in regions like Northern Ghana, where the majority of the population relies on farming.
This issue is worsened by limited access to essential agricultural resources such as tractors, quality seeds, and fertilizers. For example, Ghana requires over 30,000 tractors, but fewer than 2,000 are currently in use.
Additionally, crop yields are alarmingly low, with corn yields in Sub-Saharan Africa averaging only 30 bushels per acre compared to 175 bushels per acre in the U.S.
FarmYield Africa’s market-based services aim to transform the local agricultural ecosystem by providing high-quality mechanization services, superior seeds, essential fertilizers, expert agronomic advice, microcredit facilities and grain storage.
This comprehensive approach empowers farmers to enhance their productivity and incomes, thereby improving their quality of life.
