Farming Partnerships
PapaAgric Outgrower Scheme
We partner with smallholders, farmer groups, and commercial growers — providing certified seed, inputs, mechanisation through iMTS, in-field agronomy, and a guaranteed market at harvest.
What we provide
Everything you need for a profitable season
We take away the two biggest risks Ghanaian farmers face: upfront capital constraints for certified inputs/mechanisation, and price uncertainty at harvest.
