AgriPro Unveils Bold Agribusiness Accelerator, Offering Micro Grants to Empower Farmers and Enterprises
AgriPro, the internationally acclaimed Agribusiness agency behind innovative Agribusiness events such as the first ever Green Market held in Ghana is set to give agribusinesses an opportunity to gain practical insight as well as access to apply for micro-grants to start or expand their farm or agribusiness startups.
The “Money” Barrier
Successful agribusiness requires funds. Being passionate about agribusiness is terrific but you need some form of funding to give you a headstart and help you expand your farm. Although government grants and subsidies are helping to alleviate the financial burden on farmers and agribusiness startups, there is still more work to be done.
The Knowledge Barrier
Farmers are brainwashed into thinking that working very hard is the best way to make it. However, it’s farming smart that brings results. Studies have shown that smart farming increases productivity by 20 – 50%. Agribusiness has a lot of risks and without the right information, money invested could easily be lost through disease infestation, unfavourable land tenure agreements, lack of market for produce etc.
How AgriPro Intends to Bridge the Financial and Knowledge Gaps
AgriPro has launched an ambitious Agribusiness Workshop dubbed Farm Smart: Agribusiness Accelerator to help shape the future of Ghanaian agriculture. The Farm Smart: Agribusiness Accelerator will bring answers to agripreneurs by pooling top industry professionals, farmers, students and agripreneurs under one umbrella for transfer of practical knowledge and skills on:
Risks assessment for five key crops
Developing a robust financial model for your business
FDA certifications and Land rights
Pitch your business to investors.
In addition, you will gain access to apply for microgrants to start or manage their own farm.
