AgroCenta is a Ghanaian startup founded in 2015, addressing the major challenges faced by smallholder farmers, particularly market access, financing, and logistics.

AgroCenta also integrates a mobile payment system, facilitating secure and fast transactions even in rural areas with limited banking infrastructure.
In addition, the company provides financial inclusion tools, including agricultural credit based on sales history and geolocation. Through this comprehensive approach, AgroCenta helps farmers better plan their production, improve their bargaining power, and increase their income. Winner of several international awards, the company has become a key player in agricultural innovation in West Africa, promoting a more equitable and sustainable farming system.
