AgroCenta - Port Louis, Mauritius

AgroCenta was created in 2015 by former Esoko employees Francis Obirikorang and Michael K. Ocansey to improve the agricultural value chain in Ghana. Smallholder farmers in rural areas were struggling to find a market for their products, often being taken advantage of by middlemen, and lacked a coordinated system of transporting their goods to markets. AgroCenta's online platform connects these farmers directly to a larger market, allowing them to set their own prices and combat exploitative buying. The TrucKR solution provides access to trucks with the click of a button, making transportation easier and more convenient for farmers. AgroCenta is revolutionizing the way smallholder farmers work, using technology to make their lives easier and improve their livelihoods.
