AgriCentric Ventures

Converting agro-waste into quality organic farming products

2019 SEED Low Carbon Award Sustainable Agriculture Kumasi, Ghana

Our partnership module goes beyond farmers to include major agriculture stakeholders with whom we collaborate to sensitize farmers on the need to adopt sustainable food production. AgriCentric Ventures

In our business model, local farming communities are our key partners in supplying our raw materials-farm waste. AgriCentric Ventures

When we process the farm waste into bio-products, we divert its methane production potential to save the environment from large tonnes of methane emission. AgriCentric Ventures

We aim to tackle farmers' over-reliance on synthetic chemicals for food production which destroys the environment and does not guarantee climate-smart food production. AgriCentric Ventures

We supply bio-char to farmers for depleted soil remediation. Each tonne of bio-char can sequester about 3.5 tons of carbon dioxide for hundreds of years in the soil. AgriCentric Ventures

AgriCentric partners with both smallholder farmers and commercial scale farmers to buy their farm waste. The waste is processed into high value organic products: bio-char, bio-fertiliser, dietary supplement for livestock & fish, and bio-pesticides which are then sold back to farmers at cheap prices to enable them to engage in sustainable food production.

The enterprise further offers soil remediation services and partners with government agriculture offices to hold free Livelihood Empowerment Programmes for rural farming communities and sensitisation programmes on sustainable food production.
