A new partnership between @IFC_org and @CompleteFarmer will connect more Ghanaian farmers to finance, markets and the tools they need to grow.
Digital platforms can help close critical gaps across the agricultural value chain, from production to market access.
Through @WorldBankGroup’s #AgriConnect, we are strengthening the ecosystem around farmers so they can build stronger, more productive businesses.
Today in Accra, I signed a new @IFC_org partnership with @AbsaGhana to expand working-capital financing across Ghana’s cocoa value chain.
This will help licensed buying companies reach nearly 140,000 smallholder farmers and keep more capital flowing through one of Ghana’s most important sectors.
Delighted to be back in Accra 🇬🇭 at an encouraging moment for #Ghana.
After a period of adjustment, the country has made important progress in restoring macroeconomic stability. The task now is to turn that progress into more investment, stronger businesses, and better jobs.
I look forward to discussing how @IFC_org can help mobilize more private capital and support Ghana’s next phase of growth. @IFCAfrica
