The Problem

Agricultural Barriers Limiting Ghana's Food Security

Farmers in Ghana face critical challenges including language and literacy barriers, exploitation by middlemen, counterfeit agricultural inputs, and limited access to modern farming technology. These issues result in low productivity (average yields 30-40% below potential), unfair pricing (farmers receiving only 40-50% of retail value), and significant post-harvest losses reaching 25-35% of total production.

Market SizeGhana's agricultural sector contributes 20% to GDP with over 52% of the workforce engaged in farming, representing a $14.3 billion market opportunity

Key Pain Points:

  • 70% of Ghanaian farmers have limited literacy, making digital platforms inaccessible
  • Middlemen capture 50-60% of product value, leaving farmers with minimal profit margins
  • Post-harvest losses cost the agricultural sector approximately $500 million annually
  • Limited access to real-time market prices leads to exploitation and unfair trading practices

Our Solution

Culturally Intelligent AI Platform for Ghanaian Agriculture

AfuomHub leverages artificial intelligence and computer vision to provide multilingual voice-based agricultural advisory in Twi, Ga, Ewe, and English. The platform combines crop disease detection, yield prediction, resource optimization, and an intelligent marketplace that directly connects farmers to consumers while ensuring fair pricing and reducing supply chain waste.

Key Features:

  • Multilingual voice-based advisory system supporting Twi, Ga, Ewe, and English for inclusive access
  • AI-powered crop disease detection and yield prediction using computer vision technology
  • Intelligent marketplace with price prediction algorithms and automated product grading
  • Supply chain optimization with AI logistics reducing waste and ensuring fresh delivery
