AgroCenta

Seed Round in 2021
AgroCenta, founded in 2015 by former Esoko employees Francis Obirikorang and Michael K. Ocansey, aims to enhance the agricultural value chain in Ghana by addressing key challenges faced by smallholder farmers. The company has developed an online platform that connects these farmers directly to national markets, allowing them to sell their commodities at fair prices, thereby reducing reliance on exploitative middlemen. The platform also offers real-time commodity pricing and access to credit facilities. Additionally, AgroCenta has introduced a logistics solution known as TrucKR, which enables farmers in remote areas to easily access transportation services for their goods. This innovative approach not only empowers farmers by giving them control over their sales but also significantly improves their overall market access and economic outcomes.
