Mahama Strikes Deal With Japanese Mogul to Invest In Ghana’s Agric Sector
President John Dramani Mahama has struck a deal with the CEO and founder of Degas Limited, Doga Makiura, to invest in Ghana’s agriculture sector.
Per the deal, the businessman will invest $100 million over the next four years to help establish Ghana as an AI-powered agricultural hub.
In a Facebook post, President Mahama said he has already financed more than 86,000 smallholder farmers across 122,000 acres, doubling incomes with a 95% repayment rate.
“With AI-driven satellite monitoring and precision agriculture, we will strengthen value chains from inputs to markets, improve food security, and create more jobs for our youth,” he remarked.
According to him, this is a strong vote of confidence in Ghana’s vision for integrated, technology-enabled agriculture.
