The European Union-funded AgriFI facility, managed by EDFI Management Company, is investing € 2.2 million ($ 2.5 million) in Complete Farmer (CF), a Ghanaian agritech company working to improve market access and productivity for smallholder farmers. The investment will support the company’s continued expansion and the construction of fulfilment centres in Ghana’s five northern regions, in alignment with the regional priorities of the AgriFI Ghana Country Window.
The EU financing will contribute to the construction of six new fulfilment centres – hubs for aggregation, quality control, and logistics – with a focus on the country’s northern regions. By investing where access to markets and agricultural infrastructure remains limited, the initiative aims to stimulate rural employment, improve incomes, and shorten value chains, contributing to the EU’s broader development objectives and providing services to over 5,000 farmers.
Irchad Razaaly, European Union Ambassador to Ghana stated: “Through this investment from the European Union Facility, AgriFI Ghana Country Window to Complete Farmer, we are not only supporting this agri company itself, but also all its clients. The new fulfilment centres and a better digital platform will benefit farmers in underserved regions in Northern Ghana. This support will make it easier for small farmers to get quality seeds and tools, access advice, and sell their crops. This means less hassle, better harvests, and more money in farmers’ pockets.”
“By supporting Complete Farmer, we are investing in a more inclusive and sustainable agri-food system in Ghana,” said Rodrigo Madrazo García de Lomana, CEO of EDFI Management Company. “This investment will enable the company to reach more underserved regions, strengthen value chains, and multiply the benefits for growers and buyers alike — fully aligned with our mission to foster sustainable and inclusive growth.”
Founded in 2017 by Ghanaian entrepreneur Desmond Koney, Complete Farmer has built an innovative platform that connects key actors in the agricultural value chain. Through its digital infrastructure, the company bridges the gap between growers, international buyers, and input vendors, helping farmers grow high-quality produce tailored to market demand while giving buyers reliable access to traceable, export-ready crops. Complete Farmer aims to provide services to over 50,000 Ghanaian farmers by 2028.
“Partnering with European Union funded AgriFI strengthens our mission to create a more resilient agricultural sector in West Africa,” said Desmond Koney, CEO of Complete Farmer. “We believe technology can empower farmers and buyers alike – and with this support, we can reach thousands more with the tools and market access they need.”
In 2023, Complete Farmer successfully raised over $ 10 million in private capital to expand its model across Ghana and neighbouring countries. The AgriFI investment complements this by deepening the company’s local footprint in underserved areas and crowding in further investment.
