The GFN is showcasing the promising results of our Agripreneur Accelerator program, which launched August 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya. Designed to enhance profitability through sustainable ag-tech adoption, this initiative is already making a significant impact.
One participant, Sibusiso Goodwill Gule from Eswatini, exemplifies the start of the program's impact. At the event, Sibusiso's engagement with peers laid the groundwork for sustained growth and innovation in his operations as the founder and director of Goodwill’s Farm Fresh, a horticulture production company.
After attending, Sibusiso initiated a partnership with Olawale Rotimi, a Nigerian agripreneur who also was at the program, to start a fruit and vegetableshop alongside his coffee business, and a potential collaboration with Amadou Sidibe, from Mali, on greenhouse technology.
By sharing data and personal experiences, the GFN’s Agripreneur Accelerator program is fostering a culture of innovation and growth. For more updates and achievements, contact Mary Boote, +1 515.274.0800 or [email protected].
