Ghana’s agricultural sector is set for a transformative leap, following a $100 million investment commitment from Degas Limited, a global leader in AI-driven agribusiness solutions. The investment will be rolled out over the next four years to accelerate technology-driven farming across the country.

The announcement was made in Yokohama, Japan, by President John Dramani Mahama after his meeting with Degas founder and Chief Executive Officer, Doga Makiura.

The initiative aims to position Ghana as a hub for AI-powered agriculture, deploying advanced tools to enhance productivity, strengthen value chains, and expand job creation. Degas plans to introduce satellite monitoring, precision farming systems, and digital market linkages to help farmers optimize input use and improve decision-making at the farm level.

Degas Limited already has a strong footprint in Ghana, supporting more than 86,000 smallholder farmers across 122,000 acres. Its innovative financing model has doubled farmer incomes while maintaining a repayment rate of 95 percent.

In a statement on Friday, August 22, 2025, President Mahama described the partnership as a “strong vote of confidence in Ghana’s vision for integrated, technology-enabled agriculture.” He added that the investment will play a crucial role in improving food security and generating employment, especially for the youth.

The deal underscores Ghana’s broader economic reset agenda, with agriculture modernization at its core.
