Ghana’s agricultural sector is set for transformation as Degas Limited, a global leader in AI-driven agribusiness, announces a $100 million investment in the country over the next four years.
The announcement was made in Yokohama, Japan, by President John Dramani Mahama after he meets with Doga Makiura, Chief Executive Officer and founder of Degas Limited.
The new investment aims to position Ghana as a hub for AI-powered agriculture by deploying cutting-edge technologies to boost productivity, strengthen value chains, and create jobs for thousands of young people.
Degas Limited already has a strong footprint in Ghana’s agricultural landscape. The company has supported more than 86,000 smallholder farmers across 122,000 acres, doubling farmer incomes while maintaining a 95% repayment rate through its innovative financing model.
The upcoming initiative will introduce advanced AI tools, including satellite monitoring and precision agriculture systems, to optimize input distribution, improve farm-level decision-making, and connect farmers directly to markets.
In a Facebook post on Friday, August 22, 2025, President Mahama described the partnership as a major step toward food security and youth employment.
“This is a strong vote of confidence in Ghana’s vision for integrated, technology-enabled agriculture—and we are ready to deliver,” the President stated.
This $100 million Degas investment underscores Ghana’s commitment to modernising agriculture as part of its broader economic reset agenda.
