Wami Agro

What Wami Agro does

Wami Agro is a Ghanaian agri-tech company founded in March 2020 that operates an integrated platform connecting smallholder farmers in rural Ghana to credit, markets, and agronomic information. The company serves over 60,000 farmers across 16 regions of Ghana through four core modules: Pukpara, a digital farm management platform handling farmer registration, GPS field mapping, VSLA savings tracking, loan processing, and analytics dashboards; Wami Market, a digital marketplace that aggregates produce and sells in bulk to factories, FMCG companies, food distributors, and animal feed processors for both local and export channels; Wami Credit, an input financing system that supplies seeds, fertilizer, and mechanization services on credit, repaid via crop sales on Wami Market (GHS 2M+ disbursed to 5,000+ farmers with a 95% repayment rate); and Wami Info, a multi-channel training and information service delivering GAP training, financial literacy, weather, and market prices via SMS, voice, mobile app, and WhatsApp in local languages.

Wami Agro reaches farmers through a community-led GTM motion anchored on Farmer-Based Organizations (FBOs), supported by field agents, farmer leads, and a digital self-serve layer on Pukpara. The company is registered as WamiAgro Limited under Ghanaian law, headquartered in Tema, and led by Managing Director Caleb Edwards and Executive Director Jonah Jones Tuokpier. Named enterprise counterparties include Guinness Ghana Breweries Plc. (anchor sorghum offtaker through the IDH Grains for Growth Program) and Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans (credit-delivery partner), with program partners including IDH, AICCRA, USADF, Mastercard Foundation, Acumen, MEST Africa, Absa Bank Ghana, FNB Ghana, and Wangara Green Ventures.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: a trading margin on aggregated agricultural produce sold in bulk to offtakers, and an implicit fee/interest spread on input credit extended to farmers and repaid through commercial crop sales. No public pricing tiers are disclosed; services appear quote-based for enterprise buyers and free/direct for smallholders via FBO registration. The company has raised approximately $220K in preseed funding (2023), GHS 2.21 million from Wangara Green Ventures (August 2022), an undisclosed Series A in 2024, and an Acumen investment in February 2025. In 2025, Wami Agro received the Social Impact Startup of the Year award at the Ghana Business Innovation Awards and announced a strategic transition to an Agfintech model with innovation at its core.
