AGRILINK GHANA
We provide tractor services, seeds, fertilizers, and advice on credit, with repayment in grain marketed in the dry season for economic sustainability. Our credit and demonstration farms promote Regenerative Agriculture, focusing on farmer acceptance and mechanization.
OUR MISSION
Unlocking the agricultural potential of African communities.
Agrilink provides agriculture technology to West African farmers with a market-based approach. By providing quality mechanization services, seed, fertilizer, and agronomy advising on credit, we help farmers raise their incomes and standards of living.
THE CHALLENGE
Limited access to technology results in low farm productivity and increased food insecurity. While the average corn yield in the U.S. is 175 bushels per acre, in Sub-Saharan Africa it is only 30 bushels per acre.
OUR SOLUTION
Agrilink provides comprehensive tractor services, seeds, fertilizers, and expert advice on credit, with repayment in grain marketed during the dry season to ensure economic sustainability. They promote Regenerative Agriculture through credit and demonstration farms, highlighting the need for farmer acceptance and mechanization to achieve scalability.
OUR IMPACT
Providing comprehensive credit for essential agricultural technologies—such as timely tractor services, improved seeds, fertilizers, and crop care chemicals—empowers smallholder farmers, including women and young farmers, to maximize their productivity and expand their operations. It is crucial to offer these services as a complete package, as delivering just one without the others is insufficient to significantly boost yields..
OUR IMPACT
Access to tractors for mechanized farm production is limited. Ghana needs over 30,000 tractors, and they currently operate less than 2,000.

Currently, fertilizer application, weeding, and crop care spraying is performed almost entirely with manual labor.
Only 2% of seeding and planting is powered by a tractor.
Mechanization provides the power to prepare fields better and plant on time, raising yields.
OUR IMPACT
Productivity and yield are also limited due to lack of access to improved seeds, fertilizer, crop care chemicals, extension advising to improve agronomic practices, input financing, and access to a cash market to sell production. Today, it is estimated that 40% of Africa’s soils are severely depleted, reducing yield potential.

Regenerative Agriculture
Implementing Regenerative Agricultural Practices can improve soil health and improve yield potential. To implement Regenerative Agricultural Practices at scale requires farmer acceptance and mechanization for adoption. We use demonstration plots and credit to show farmers the benefits and make it easy for them to adopt Regenerative Agriculture.
