Africa’s Agri‑Tech market is on a rapid growth trajectory—and now is the perfect time for investors, innovators, and ambitious entrepreneurs to get involved.

Across the continent, agriculture remains the backbone of many economies, employing over 60% of the population. Yet, a new wave of technology‑driven solutions is transforming traditional farming into a modern, high‑value industry. From precision farming and smart irrigation to drone monitoring and mobile‑based marketplaces, Agri‑Tech is unlocking productivity, reducing waste, and improving incomes for millions of farmers.

Countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Ethiopia, and Côte d’Ivoire are seeing rapid adoption of innovative solutions. Governments and private investors are pouring resources into agricultural modernization, while tech‑savvy youth are building start‑ups that solve real farming challenges—creating fertile ground for new partnerships and market entries.

A.Market Size in Figures

• Africa’s Agri‑Tech market is projected to reach USD 12–14 billion by 2030, growing at over 9% annually.
• Nigeria’s Agri‑Tech ecosystem alone has attracted more than USD 500 million in investment over the last five years, driven by digital platforms like FarmCrowdy and ThriveAgric.
• Kenya is home to over 80 active Agri‑Tech start‑ups, and the market is valued at USD 300 million, with strong support from accelerators and government programs.

• FinTech for Agriculture: Mobile‑based credit and insurance products tailored to smallholder farmers are gaining traction.

C.Challenges

• Infrastructure Gaps: Poor rural roads, limited storage facilities, and patchy internet coverage can hinder adoption.
• Financing Limitations: Many smallholder farmers lack access to credit, making it harder to invest in new technologies.
