Agromovil Leverages on USDA Partnership in Ghana and Tanzania

Accra, Ghana: The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) had partnered with US-based agritech Agromovil to help smallholder farmers in Ghana and Tanzania access local markets.

Established in 2017, Agromovil has an app that helps farmers connect with new buyers, sell direct, and find optimized transport. In Ghana, FAS funded the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology enabling Agromovil to pilot their app with sorghum producers.

In Tanzania, FAS supported a partnership between Agromovil and the Tanzanian Horticultural Association (TAHA) working in the onion and avocado value chains. This project was funded by USAID and Tanzania.

Since the launch of Agromovil in both countries in 2022, 1,600+ farmers and buyers have signed up, resulting in USD3.5+ million in sales. More than half of the farmers who are using the app are young farmers and women farmers.
