Grow For Me, an agritech company co-founded by Nana Prempeh and his colleagues, is making waves in Ghana’s agricultural ecosystem by delivering a powerful combination of technology, climate resilience, and market access to smallholder farmers.
With a model that blends input and commodity financing, aggregation, and digital trading, Grow For Me has empowered over 19,000 farmers across Ghana. The start-up provides access to essential services while advancing regenerative agriculture and carbon offset practices.
As a KIC Incubated Business, Grow For Me is supported by KIC, in partnership with the Mastercard Foundation, having joined the KIC Incubation Program in 2022.
“Our goal is to make farming more accessible, profitable, and sustainable—for the farmer, the investor, and the planet,” says Nana Prempeh, Co-founder of Grow For Me.
Digitizing Agriculture for Smallholder Farmers
At its core, Grow For Me offers a technology-driven platform that enables smallholder farmers to access inputs and financing, while also linking them to a ready market for their harvest. Through its aggregation model, the company enhances farmer productivity and guarantees consistent quality for buyers and investors.
Farmers are also trained in regenerative agriculture, which restores soil health and improves yields over time, and climate-resilient practices that reduce vulnerability to extreme weather events.
Carbon Offsetting and Crowdfunded Impact
Grow For Me’s innovative partnership with telecommunication companies in Africa enables individuals and corporate entities to participate in farming, commodities trading, and carbon sequestering through crowdfunding. This feature allows even urban residents or diasporan communities to invest directly in climate-positive agriculture.
“This approach not only democratizes access to agriculture, but channels funds into impactful, measurable results on the ground,” Nana Prempeh added.
