Problem
West African agriculture suffers from low productivity, high post‑harvest losses, and limited traceability, which restricts value addition and market access for smallholder farmers.

The ecosystem also supports youth‑led agritech solutions, enabling rapid testing and scaling of innovations within local value chains. Overall, Graft Africa aims to build more resilient, inclusive agri‑food systems through shared data, collaboration, and targeted capacity building.
