What is Grow For Me
Grow For Me is an AgriTech company licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission to connect investors to farmers, and farmers to market. By raising capital from retail investors and banks, we democratise access to capital in the Agricultural industry.
Grow For Me has access to all a million-plus farmers in farming communities across Ghana through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (Crops Department). Grow For Me has proven a sustainable business model that makes co-creation, co-finance, and commercialisation for community growth possible. Our deep passion is to see the smallholder farmer come out of poverty and become financially independent by input financing and instant purchase of commodities after harvest. We are solving SDG 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9 problems by creating wealth and producing more food at the same time. By 2030, the Agricultural industry will be valued at $USD 1 trillion, and we will have a share of that, with a population of 1.6 billion.
