Farming is facing an uncertain future if nothing changes. Ageing farmers are facing labour shortages and energy costs. As labour costs rise and robotics costs fall, farmers will be able to produce more by spending less on automation services.

Hello, Ghana 🇬🇭
Your Excellency, @JDMahama
Hello Africa and the world.

We @3farmatebots are proud to announce the official launch of FAMA—Ghana's FIRST AI-powered autonomous farming robot for large-scale crop production.

Founded in 2021 by @oxncgen (CEO) and @koffi_cobbin (CTO), the company began in a dorm room at @KNUSTGH, where its first prototype was developed. Since then, the team has engineered FAMA into a full-scale autonomous robot capable of planting seeds, applying fertilizer, weeding, and spraying across real farm environments.

FAMA navigates using a vision-based AI system instead of GPS, allowing it to operate reliably in areas where GPS is unavailable or inconsistent. The robot runs on batteries charged by solar panels while in the field and can operate across uneven terrain, loose and muddy soils, and variable weather conditions. A single operator can oversee multiple robots, each covering 27 to 35 acres per day with sub-85mm planting precision.

3Farmate targets large-scale staple crop producers in Ghana, starting with corn and soybeans. We operate a service model, charging farmers per acre and removing the need for upfront equipment investment. Over 70 farmers and several large-scale crop production companies are currently in discussions, with commercial deployments beginning in the 2026 planting season.

Approximately $200,000 has been raised to date, including investment from @776foundation (Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder) and a grant from @kicghana.

Our team consists of young engineers specializing in robotics, embedded systems, software, and mechanical design.

With 8 major iterations, 60+ field test runs, 100+ cumulative acres covered, and thousands of runtime hours in real farm conditions, FAMA is market-ready to become the ultimate farmer-assistant.

We built FAMA right here in Ghana, inspired by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s belief that “Africa must industrialize to achieve true independence.”

We built FAMA as a true testament to every young engineer in Africa that “IT IS POSSIBLE.”

FAMA is designed to operate seamlessly on Ghanaian soil and is adaptable to diverse agricultural environments worldwide.

Join us as we drive innovation across global agriculture.

We call on the government of Ghana, stakeholders, international organizations, and agri-industry leaders to partner with us in transforming agriculture together.

This is not history in the making, because history has already been made, and we thank you for being a part of our journey.

On this note, we are officially launched!

3FARMATE – The future is here.

[MARK OFORIQUAYE @cropinvestment]

THE 3FARMATE STORY

We started @3farmatebots with no lab, no funding, and no blueprint for what we were trying to build. @oxncgen and @koffi_cobbin had the conviction that young engineers in Ghana could build something the world hadn’t seen yet.

That conviction is what became FAMA.

The first prototype was humbling. It moved and proved our concept but was barely functional. We celebrated anyway. Movement of FAMA as a prototype meant the idea wasn’t crazy, but what came next was less celebratory.

Early on, the doubt came from everywhere. Well-meaning people asked why we were building a robot in Ghana, for Ghana, when we could simply import existing technologies. Others wondered if we had the technical depth to pull it off. A few told us directly that we were wasting our time.

We didn’t argue. We went back to the workshop, because the thing about building hardware is that the machine doesn’t care about your feelings or your critics. It either works or it doesn’t.

Funding was its own kind of test.

When Kosmos Innovation Center Ghana came in, alongside a grant from the 776 Foundation, it wasn’t just capital—it was confirmation that what we were building was worth believing in.

After several iterations, something had shifted. FAMA wasn’t just surviving field conditions; it was handling them.

Vision-based navigation guiding it cleanly down rows without GPS. Batteries keeping it running without grid dependency. Sub-85mm planting precision across terrain that had broken earlier versions entirely.

The small wins had stacked into something real.

I remember standing at the edge of a test field, watching FAMA complete a full run without a single intervention. No one said anything for a moment. We’d spent so long in the middle of the problem that it took a second to recognize we’d come out the other side.

Today, FAMA is officially launched.

I’ll be honest about what I feel today—
not triumphant, not relieved exactly.

Mostly, I feel grateful.

The rest is just… what comes next.

We want to make a promise to the world: that we will not just build robots, but build the future of AI-powered mechanization and engineering in Ghana.

tomorrow 23.03.26
everything changes.

we will share with the world a more detailed video highlighting our contribution to agricultural engineering, as we fully unveil Ghana’s first autonomous farming robot (FAMA).

behind this historic milestone is a team of three engineers working across robotics, embedded systems, software, and mechanical design.

we have worked tirelessly to come this far—now standing at the edge of commercialization—and we are proud of what we have achieved as young people inspired by the Nkrumah Pan-African dream. but this is no longer a dream. what we have accomplished is the realization of a vision to turn ideas into tangible, visible outcomes.

@3farmatebots built everything in-house, right here in Ghana; and now, we need your help and support to tell our story to the world.

welcome to the new era of farming.

@kwadwosheldon @Medikalbyk At what point can we call people like KS out for his lack of civility, to think that he can talk to artists anyhow? Is this the kind of industry we want to build? If we are talking about the sickness in the industry, Sheldon is part of the problem and the biggest con/hypocrite

[CHANGEMAKER @truth0fgod]

@kwadwosheldon @Medikalbyk Imagine someone saying that KSS should be taken out of a reputable award show. You objectified rather than humanized MDK and the body of work he put into D2. It is not only unfortunate but also sad to see how, as a CEO, you constantly behave like an absolute idiot and nitwit

[CHANGEMAKER @truth0fgod]

@kwadwosheldon @Medikalbyk You trashed an album that is undoubtedly one of the most well-put-together masterpieces in terms of wordplay, lyrical dexterity, and storytelling, with a few songs that were hits. You were not part of his studio process, yet you rubbished his album and think it is right
