Symbiotics Backs Ghana’s Agritech Complete Farmer with $5M to Boost Smallholder Farmer Connectivity

Symbiotics , the leading market access platform for impact investing, has facilitated a USD 5 million debt investment in Complete Farmer , a Ghanaian agritech company. The funding aims to scale the company’s operations and reinforce Ghana’s agricultural supply chain by improving production capacity and market connectivity for smallholder farmers.

This strategic financing will enable Complete Farmer to expand its operations, tackling critical bottlenecks in crop production and market access for Ghana’s farming communities, serving over 12,000 smallholder farmers. The investment aligns with Symbiotics strategy to support both smallholder farmers and resilient, sustainable agricultural ecosystems in emerging markets.

Despite Ghana’s significant agricultural potential, smallholder farmers often face fragmented value chains, inconsistent product quality, and difficult market linkages. Complete Farmer addresses these challenges by equipping growers with the necessary tools and expertise to meet quality standards, directly connecting them to buyers, and investing in the infrastructure required to strengthen the agricultural value chain.

“Symbiotics is proud to support Complete Farmer in its mission to transform agriculture for the benefit of small-scale producers across Ghana in a sustainable way. We have been particularly impressed by the company’s integration of technology to build and deliver agronomic expertise throughout its extensive network of growers. This investment aligns closely with our vision of fostering sustainable development in frontier markets.”

– Vincent Lehner, Head of Markets, Symbiotics

“This investment marks a pivotal moment in our journey to build the most efficient agricultural supply chains in Africa. With Symbiotics’ support, we’re accelerating our mission to empower smallholder farmers with the tools, knowledge, and market access they need to thrive. Together, we’re laying the foundation for a more resilient and inclusive agricultural future.”

– Desmond Koney, CEO, Complete Farmer

This partnership will support rural livelihoods, improve income stability for farmers, and contribute to more resilient agricultural value chains in West Africa, advancing progress toward SDG 2.

The transaction illustrates how targeted private debt can drive inclusive growth in underserved markets. It was made possible through the strategic allocation of Symbiotics Asset Management’s funds, supported by institutional and impact-driven investors seeking exposure to sustainable agriculture in frontier economies.
