Ghana-based Oyster Agribusiness has raised $2 million in funding to support its mission of transforming agriculture through climate-smart practices. With leading investors including Pangea Africa Limited, Root Capital, RDF Ghana, and the SEFAA Fund from Sahel Capital, this funding round highlights a strategic push towards sustainable agriculture in Ghana. Founded in 2018, Oyster has focused on supporting smallholder farmers, helping them integrate resilient agricultural practices to combat climate challenges. The funds will allow Oyster to scale its operations, expand its network of farmers, and invest in technology-driven farming solutions tailored to Ghana’s unique agricultural landscape.
Oyster has long prioritized climate-resilient farming, partnering with local farmers to reduce the impact of climate change on crop yields. Through partnerships, training, and investment in advanced farming tools, the company has provided farmers with tools to boost productivity and sustainability. This approach has positively impacted thousands of smallholder farmers across Ghana, enhancing their resilience and improving their livelihoods. The recent funding will amplify these efforts, allowing Oyster to reach more regions and train even more farmers in sustainable techniques.
According to Oyster’s leadership, this funding will enable the organization to invest in both infrastructure and resources critical for driving sustainable farming. From implementing irrigation systems to piloting solar-powered agricultural equipment, Oyster aims to lead innovation in Ghana’s agri-tech space. The funds will also help the company conduct more extensive data collection on soil health, weather patterns, and crop performance, which will inform future farming strategies and support the company’s commitment to environmentally responsible farming.
As Ghana faces increasing climate volatility, Oyster’s mission aligns with national and global sustainability goals. The company is focused on creating a model that not only provides immediate relief to farmers but also sets a framework for long-term agricultural resilience. With this new investment, Oyster Agribusiness is well-positioned to make a lasting impact on Ghana’s agricultural sector and continue leading by example in climate-smart farming practices.
