Agrihouse Foundation’s Annual Pre-Harvest Conference and Exhibition has evolved into one of the most influential events in Ghana’s agricultural calendar. For over a decade, this platform has consistently provided a vital space for farmers, agribusinesses, policymakers, and stakeholders to come together, share knowledge, forge new partnerships, and explore innovative solutions to the challenges facing the sector.
Through its focus on connectivity, market access, and capacity-building, the Pre-Harvest Conference has successfully bridged gaps within the agricultural value chain, empowering smallholder farmers and fostering growth across the industry.
Delivering a speech on behalf of the Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture, Hon. Yaw Frimpong Addo, at the 14t annual pre-harvest agribusiness conference and exhibition in tamale in the northern region ,Under the theme, “Connecting the Unconnected – Feeding the Future through Innovation and Technological Approaches,” the Sagnarigu Municipal Director of Agriculture, Mr. Shani Abubakari, emphasized the impressive progress Agrihouse Foundation has made over the past seven years in creating a platform for knowledge-sharing, networking, and partnerships across the agricultural value chain.
“Over the last seven years, Agrihouse Foundation has grown this platform to become a vital hub for knowledge-sharing, networking, and partnerships, serving as a crucial meeting point for farmers, agribusinesses, and policymakers,” he stated.
“Through this event, Agrihouse Foundation has connected smallholder farmers to larger agribusinesses, financial institutions, and other stakeholders, creating opportunities that might otherwise have been out of reach.”
The impact of the Pre-Harvest Conference has been profound, providing thousands of farmers with access to critical resources such as new technologies, markets, and financial services. These efforts have empowered farmers to increase their productivity, improve their livelihoods, and develop key aspects of the agricultural value chain, including post-harvest management and agribusiness entrepreneurship.
The Deputy Minister’s representative also addressed the increasing importance of digital tools in agriculture, noting that technology holds the key to unlocking the sector’s potential. “No farmer should be left behind , underscoring the need to integrate mobile platforms, digital marketplaces, and other technological tools to bridge gaps and connect farmers with buyers, suppliers, and financial services.
He also acknowledged Agrihouse Foundation’s ongoing efforts to empower youth and women in agriculture through initiatives such as the Agricultural Student Career Guidance and Mentorship Bootcamp, the Women in Food and Agricultural Leadership Training Forum, and the Agriwoman Marketplace. “We must continue to prioritize the inclusion of youth and women in agriculture,” the speech urged, stressing that targeted training and access to resources can help these groups take on leadership roles in shaping the future of agriculture.

The Country Manager for Yara Ghana Limited, Madam Theresa Randolph, has reaffirmed Yara’s unwavering commitment to bolstering food security and advancing the livelihoods of Ghanaian farmers.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the 14th Annual Pre-Harvest Exhibition and Conference organized by Agrihouse foundation, on the theme, “Connecting the Unconnected – Feeding the Future Through Innovative and Technological Approaches,” Madam Randolph outlined Yara’s strategic approach to sustainable agriculture.
She emphasized the company’s dedication to empowering farmers through innovative crop nutrition solutions, climate-smart practices, and digital tools that enhance productivity while safeguarding the environment.
Reflecting on Yara’s focus on “increasing food security and enhancing farmer livelihoods,” she noted the significant strides Yara has made in empowering farmers through comprehensive crop nutrition solutions, which have directly impacted productivity and profitability for those who adopt Yara’s methods.
“Yara continues to drive and support food production and farmer profitability, and the results are clear among those adopting our crop nutrition solutions,” she remarked, highlighting Yara’s influence in elevating agricultural standards and securing food supplies across the country.
Empowering Farmers Through Technology and Training
In line with Yara’s mission to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet, Madam Randolph outlined Yara’s substantial investment in technology and sustainable farming practices.
“Through our mission to responsibly feed the world and protect the planet, and our ambition to grow a nature-positive food future, we are heavily invested in applying technology through climate neutrality and regenerative farming practices. These efforts are complemented by prosperity measures designed to improve farmer income and promote sustainable agronomic practices,” she added, emphasizing Yara’s holistic vision for agriculture that incorporates both environmental and economic goals.
Beyond providing quality, crop-targeted fertilizer solutions, Yara leads the way with comprehensive farmer training and demonstration programs to ensure the effective and efficient use of fertilizers. This not only delivers quality food production but also protects the planet, strengthening food systems resilience and sustainability for all.” Madam Randolph emphasized.
According to her, Yara Ghana invests significantly in innovations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in its premium fertilizers, a critical component of its broader effort to decarbonize agriculture and minimize carbon footprints. “Our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions is evident in our continuous efforts to achieve global standards on decarbonization and the SDG Goal 13 to limit & adapt to climate change,” she shared. By investing in fertilizers that lower greenhouse gas emissions, Yara is setting a precedent for sustainable practices in the agricultural sector and contributing to global climate goals.
Yara’s Role in Farmer Education and Training
In addition to supplying crop-specific fertilizer solutions, Yara Ghana has taken a proactive role in farmer education and training. These initiatives equip farmers with essential skills to maximize the effectiveness of fertilizers, yielding higher quality production while promoting environmental stewardship.
In these training programs, farmers learn best practices for fertilizer application, crop rotation, and efficient land use, enhancing their ability to increase yields sustainably. By fostering a deeper understanding of soil health, crop nutrition, and resource management, Yara’s training initiatives are setting the stage for long-term growth and resilience in Ghana’s agricultural sector. These educational efforts are particularly impactful for smallholder farmers who often face barriers to accessing up-to-date information on sustainable agriculture.
Moreover, Yara Ghana actively collaborates with local agricultural organizations and extension services to expand the reach of its training programs. These partnerships enable Yara to disseminate information more effectively and reach remote farming communities that might otherwise lack access to essential agricultural knowledge. By investing in community-based education, Yara is fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptability among Ghanaian farmers.
Innovation in Digital Connectivity with YaraConnect
Recognizing the value of connectivity in transforming agriculture, Yara Ghana launched the YaraConnect app at the end of 2022. Designed as a retailer-facing platform, YaraConnect strengthens loyalty within the smallholder farmer ecosystem and streamlines access to Yara’s resources. This mobile application offers valuable farming advice, enabling retailers to guide farmers on informed input purchase decisions for optimal crop yields.
“The YaraConnect app is not just a loyalty program; it’s a vital knowledge-sharing tool. Retailers can provide farmers with sound advice based on comprehensive insights, driving more effective and tailored crop nutrition solutions,” explained Madam Randolph. By equipping retailers with reliable information, YaraConnect ensures that farmers receive accurate guidance, which, in turn, leads to better crop quality and productivity.
The app also supports smallholder farmers by providing insights on market trends, enabling them to make informed decisions that can lead to higher profitability. Through features that include crop advisory, input tracking, and tailored recommendations, YaraConnect empowers farmers with the knowledge they need to adapt to changing market demands and environmental conditions. Yara’s investment in digital tools underscores its commitment to last-mile delivery of agricultural solutions, ensuring that even farmers in remote areas have access to essential support for their agricultural needs.
Building a Sustainable Future Through Public-Private Partnerships
Madam Randolph stated that the journey to transform agriculture is one that requires the collaborative efforts of both public and private sectors. By leveraging the strengths and resources of both sides, Yara is working to ensure that Ghana’s agricultural sector remains resilient and capable of meeting the food demands of a growing population.
“This event, with the theme of connecting the unconnected, demonstrates the critical role of innovation and technology in driving agricultural growth. When the agriculture sector is transformed through innovation and technology, it can accelerate economic development and prosperity of citizens,” she remarked. Randolph stressed that public-private partnerships are essential in enabling Ghana to overcome agricultural challenges and reach new milestones in food security.
Yara’s Vision for Ghana’s Agricultural Sector
She added that, Yara Ghana is dedicated to building a future where Ghanaian farmers are prosperous, food security is assured, and agriculture is both sustainable and climate resilient. “Yara’s commitment to an inclusive, technologically advanced agricultural future stands as a pillar of support for Ghanaian farmers, driving sustainability, profitability, and a more resilient food system,” she noted.
Through its innovative solutions, digital outreach, and comprehensive training programs, Yara Ghana remains at the forefront of agricultural transformation in Ghana. Its efforts in promoting sustainable practices, reducing environmental impact, and fostering economic resilience underscore a powerful vision for the future of agriculture—a vision where Ghanaian farmers not only survive but thrive in a rapidly changing world. Yara’s initiatives reflect a profound understanding of the challenges facing modern agriculture and a steadfast resolve to create lasting, positive change for farmers, communities, and the planet.

It is exactly 1:17am midnight. I am sitting on the yellow coach in my room and, as usual, thinking about all our interventional projects at Agrihouse Foundation and our African expansion agenda for 2025.
I am also planning and plotting ahead of the next few weeks, where we all converge in the Northern Region, for the 14th time, to host what has grown to be one of the prime, major, and most sustainable market linkage events in the country – the Annual Preharvest Agribusiness Exhibitions and Conference event.
My mind cast back to the year 2017, when I, my fearful yet daring self, personally put in a bid to take over the Preharvest event after the exit of the USAID ADVANCE funded project.
The USAID ADVANCE Team had advertised online and all over in the print, their desire for an organization to take over the Preharvest and sustain it.
I sincerely, at that young age, did not realize that I was about to take up and carry on my shoulders a major issue to do with market access, post-harvest losses, linkages, matchmaking, capacity building, that the Preharvest, through USAID, hopes to address or find long term solutions to, for our farmers.
Well, I went through the process until the final stage when my very young organization, Agrihouse Foundation, won the bid – we were officially selected as the new implementing organization and lead organizers of the event after the exit of the USAID ADVANCE project implementers.
With a young and dedicated team, we took the mantle to co-organize the 2017 edition of the Preharvest event with the USAID ADVANCE team. The idea was to learn and equally under study the ADVANCE team, so we can fully understand and take over.
The then Chief of Party, Dr. Emmanuel Dormon, together with Mr. Nicholas Isaaka Gbana, the Technical adviser, and Mr. Cecil Osei who is now the Chief of the Party of the USAID funded Ghana Market Systems and Resilience Activity, And other amazing team members, held our hands, made us feel a full part of the Team, and took us through every detail of the Preharvest event.
I look back now with so much admiration for the USAID ADVANCE Team, their dedication and commitment to us. I say it without mincing words that the Dr. Emmanual Dormond led team contributed immensely to our ability to manage the Preharvest and, most importantly, laid the foundation for Agrihouse Foundation to grow.
I personally still cannot comprehend why the USAID office does not see Agrihouse Foundation as more of their handy work and models of success, when it comes to their role in empowering the youth. The USAID ADVANCE did not just hand over an important event but, also demonstrated that, through Agrihouse Foundation’s young team, when the youth are empowered, resourced and directed, they can deliver and contribute to the advancement of our food systems; that is exactly what the USAID ADVANCE Project did through the Preharvest event.
This is a major win for the USAID, and I hope they will look back and be proud of what they have supported a young foundation to become, just by believing in us, being neutral and authentic and giving us an opportunity to manage the Preharvest event.
It was also during this same period of winning the bid that donor agencies and donor-funded organizations were advocating for inclusivity and, most importantly, the empowerment of women. USAID ADVANCE Project again gave Agrihouse Foundation an opportunity for women to lead. During the time we won the bid, my team members then, were just four (4) in number and, interestingly, we were all women.
What Is the Pre-Harvest Event?
The Annual Pre-harvest Agribusiness Conference and Exhibitions, handed over to Agrihouse Foundation seven years ago by the USAID Advance Project after its exit, started in 2009. The event was essentially created as a market linkage activity linking farmers to buyers.
It started as a fully funded US activity for farmers in rice, maize and soyabean.
Between 2010 and 2017, the event was annually sponsoring about 200 farmers and actors by bringing them together for a full day to build their capacity, whiles linking them to buyers and markets.
The event also built the capacity of farmers with strategic negotiation skills to aid them when negotiating for pricing with farmers.
The overall goal and objectives of the Preharvest is to transform agriculture and provide long-term market development opportunities for farmers.
The event also stands to strengthen the capacity of farmer-based organizations and aggregators of grains to enable them play a key role as agricultural market actors in Ghana.
The award-winning market-linkage platform has, for the past thirteen years, grown to become the leading market linkage platform in the country, and has also lived up to its overall goal of creating markets and linking farmers to buyers.
The event has also assisted, and continues to assist, farmers and agri-businesses to expand their businesses, before and after harvesting, and to create an enabling environment for new partnerships to promote the growth of Ghana’s agricultural sector.
- Rationale
The event assists farmers and agri-businesses to expand their businesses before and after harvesting, and creates the needed enabling environment for new partnerships to promote the growth of Ghana’s agricultural sector.
Besides market growth, the event helps farmers adopt best practices to ensure that the achievements made within the industry are sustained.
Strategic Location of Event
The geographical focus is put on northern Ghana as the agricultural potential of the northern zone where irrigation possibilities are largely untapped. Hitherto, agriculture business, investment and development in Ghana have largely taken place in the south of the country, as well as massive farming of tropical (forest) cash crops, like cocoa and palm oil.
However, the northern part of Ghana, with at least 8 million unused acres of agricultural land with highly suitable soils, is open for large scale farming, development of modern agro-industry supply chains, poultry and vegetable oils, rice, sugar, cotton, cassava, shea, highly value-added tree crops, livestock, aquaculture, etc. (SADA, 2016).
From A One Day to A Three-Day Event
The annual Pre-Harvest event was initially organized as a one-day gathering by the USAID ADVANCE Project. However, due to its undeniable impact and growing influence in the agricultural sector, it has since evolved into a three-day event.
This shift was not made lightly, but rather driven by the increasing demand and overwhelming feedback from our diverse stakeholders. Farmers, agribusinesses, policymakers, and development partners, consistently called for more time to engage, collaborate, and explore the wealth of opportunities the event offers.
In response, we extended its duration, ensuring that participants can maximize their experience, form stronger partnerships, and leverage the knowledge shared to enhance their agribusiness ventures. This transformation underscores the event’s significance and its vital role in advancing Ghana’s agricultural value chain.
The Private Sector Comes on Board
I cannot sit back and reflect on this journey without thinking about the incredible partners who have supported the Pre-Harvest event over the years. Their unwavering commitment to our vision of fostering a sustainable agricultural sector deserves our heartfelt gratitude.
I extend a special thanks to Yara Ghana, our steadfast sponsor for 14 consecutive years; GIZ-EUGAP; ADB Bank; Absa Bank; Interplast; Ecobank; Kanu Equipment; Horticulture Business Platform; GML Green Energy; and many others. We are truly grateful for their collaboration and dedication.
I also want to acknowledge our public sector partners, the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Northern Regional Coordinating Council, for their continued support each year.
Your partnership is invaluable and plays a vital role in our collective mission to enhance Ghana’s agricultural landscape. Thank you all for being integral to our success.
The Impact of The Pre-Harvest
For over 13 years, the Pre-Harvest event has been a transformative force in the agricultural landscape, bringing together more than 100,000 value chain actors and stakeholders.
This includes diverse groups such as farmer cooperatives, buyers, development partners, policymakers, and agribusinesses, as well as those in the ICT sector and aggregators. The event also attracts input dealers, equipment and machinery suppliers, transporters, financial institutions, telecommunication companies, outgrowers, civil society organizations, and processors, all essential to the success of the agrifood sector.
In the previous year’s event, over 6,000 stakeholders participated across the three-day sessions, demonstrating strong engagement. A survey conducted afterward revealed an overwhelmingly positive response, with many expressing keen interest in attending future editions. This enthusiasm is largely due to the relevance and value of the discussions, sessions, and networking opportunities offered.
Moreover, the Pre-Harvest event has played a crucial role in connecting farmers to markets. Over its 13-year history, it has successfully linked more than 197,000 farmers with critical market opportunities, contributing significantly to their livelihoods and the broader agricultural economy.
As the event continues to grow in scope and impact, its role as a vital platform for networking, learning, and business opportunities remains unmatched in Ghana’s agricultural sector.
Recognition And Awards:
The Annual Pre-Harvest event holds a significant position in the Ministry of Food and Agriculture’s annual schedule of activities, having established itself as a premier and consistent forum that brings together all actors in the agricultural sector. This event provides a platform for stakeholders to deliberate and take actionable steps towards enhancing productivity and sustainability in the sector.
The event’s vital role as a growth facilitator is evidenced by the unwavering support it has received from the government, development partners, and private sector sponsors. In recognition of its impactful contributions, the Pre-Harvest event was awarded the Agribusiness Event of the Year in 2018, highlighting its importance in driving agricultural progress and innovation.
The Preharvest Innovative Training And Demonstration Site
Agrihouse Foundation is currently developing a 10-acre Innovative Training and Demonstration Farmland in Kudula in Tamale, Northern region of Ghana, into a modern and standard agri-village. The agri-village shall provide shelter and conducive environment for the preservation of quality plants and crops in large quantities, as well as increase the productivity of animals and farmers. The village shall be designed to ensure safety and the good working condition of machineries and equipment.
The Project, when completed, will be the first of its kind in the country, with different types of farms, including seed and livestock farms, laboratories, training and conference halls.
It will also have a research unit, exhibition storage facility for agric companies, exhibition grounds, recreational and educational facilities, production room, demonstration fields, processing rooms, mechanized centres, library, nursery units and facilities to host agricultural events. The complex will also serve as an academy for training Ghana’s sustainable farmers, and for growing the agri-tourism industry.
We are however calling on the government, corporate organizations, and development agencies to rally round us with financial and technical support to enable us establish this our agri-village complex as envisaged – a modern multi-faceted complex for the training and grooming of sustainable farmers.
The 14th Edition of The Preharvest Event
The event’s tradition of impact continues this year with an estimated project participation of about 7,000, and an increase in exhibitors, from last year’s 150 to 250 projected for 2024.
This 2024 14th Annual Pre-Harvest Agribusiness Conference and Exhibitions event will take place from Tuesday, October 29, 2024, to Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at the Alhaji Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale. Under the theme: “Connecting the Unconnected: Feeding the Future through Innovative and Technological Approaches.”
This year’s event aims to strengthen market linkages, promote technological innovations, and enhance productivity within the agricultural sector.
A key focus of this year’s Pre-Harvest event is improving market linkages. We will work closely with our partners to identify gaps and collaboratively establish a strategic path forward to connect and fortify business relationships among stakeholders in the agribusiness ecosystem.
A top priority is the development of a technical pathway, featuring practical sessions and demonstrations that will educate and connect our farmers with companies offering products and services designed to enhance productivity, expedite farm business processes, and ensure food and nutrition security.
With over 250 exhibitors expected to participate, this year’s event will gather the entire agribusiness ecosystem, bringing together farmers, farmer groups, input dealers, financial institutions, tractor and machinery companies, government agencies, processors, development partners, and more.
The collaboration of these diverse stakeholders will create a vibrant atmosphere for knowledge exchange and innovation, setting the stage for a more sustainable and prosperous agricultural future.
Just as last year, a number of activities have been lined-up, to make year’s event more valuable, interactive, engaging and impactful, to participants and attendees.
Activities for the two (2) days event will include:
For the next three years, the Annual Pre-Harvest Agribusiness Conference and Exhibitions will be focused on “Connecting the Unconnected.”
This vision embodies our commitment to bridging gaps across various sectors of the agricultural value chain, ensuring inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation that benefits every stakeholder, from smallholder farmers to large agribusinesses.
We have identified that there are gaps that affect the achievement of partnerships that foster knowledge-sharing, digital literacy, and access to technology, hence our choice and emphasis on Connectivity this year in order to ensure that every farmer, entrepreneur, and agribusiness has a stake in feeding the future.
This year’s focus, “Connecting the Unconnected: Feeding the Future through Innovative and Technological Approaches,” also emphasizes the critical role that innovation and technology play in transforming agriculture.
We appreciate that, as we work towards food security, it is crucial to integrate cutting-edge technologies and modern approaches that empower farmers, improve productivity, and create sustainable solutions for the future. Consequently, we will also drive conversations around how to equip rural communities with the tools and resources needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving agrifood landscape.
With the above in mind, we have strategically designed programs that will innovatively address all the issues that we have identified and provide proper solutions towards effective resolutions.
One major way we are doing this is through the farmer-to-farmer Apprenticeship session, where experienced professionals working in various sectors of the agricultural space take the lead in offering hands-on practical education to farmers with the aim of bridging the gap between theory and practice by allowing farmers to learn directly from experts who have encompassing understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the sector.
Commodity Breakout Session
The commodity breakout sessions are targeted at various groups, including rice sellers, sorghum sellers, cowpea farmers, maize farmers, and vegetable farmers. By offering tailored support and guidance for each commodity, we aim to provide farmers with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve higher productivity and profitability.
Farmers during this session will be grouped into different rooms where experts engage in meaningful dialogue with them. The focus of these discussions is on the specific commodities that the farmers are cultivating, identifying the challenges they face, and exploring the gaps in their current practices. Experts will provide practical advice on how to enhance yields and increase productivity, all in line with the overarching goal of harnessing the fruits of “Connecting the Unconnected.”
Farmer-Buyer Matchmaking
The Farmer-to-Buyer Session is a crucial feature of the Annual Pre-Harvest Agribusiness Conference and Exhibitions, aimed at empowering farmers by building their capacity in negotiation and business skills. This session is designed to bridge the gap between farmers and buyers, fostering stronger market linkages that will enhance the economic opportunities for all stakeholders involved.
Before these sessions, farmers will undergo intensive training to develop key negotiation skills that enable them to engage confidently with buyers. This capacity building ensures that farmers are not only aware of the value of their produce but are also equipped to negotiate fair deals that reflect the quality and quantity of their products. By understanding market dynamics, pricing strategies, and the importance of contract agreements, farmers gain a deeper insight into the business side of agriculture.
Once trained, farmers have the opportunity to meet with pre-registered buyers – these could be agro-processing companies, wholesalers, retailers, or exporters. The Farmer-to-Buyer Session facilitates one-on-one meetings where farmers can present their produce, discuss terms, and negotiate prices. The structured nature of these meetings allows for the formal signing of deals, laying the foundation for long-term partnerships that can offer consistent market access for the farmers.
By this, we aim to create a pathway for greater market access, reducing post-harvest losses, and helping farmers transition from subsistence farming to a more commercially-driven model. This interaction is also key to creating more resilient supply chains that can meet the growing demand for food in Ghana and beyond.
Exhibitions
Spanning the entirety of the two-day event, an engaging exhibition showcase will unfold, creating a space for buying and selling at affordable prices.
This dynamic platform serves as a hub for exploring the latest innovations, products, and services that are driving advancements in the agricultural sector, ranging from crop varieties, seeds, farm equipment and machinery, agrochemicals and fertilizers, livestock, amongst others.
Outcomes and Expectations
The two days event is expected to provide participants with a common platform where diverse services linked to the agric sector will converge to provide mutually beneficial ends
Participants will be taken through practical and engaging sessions to enable them gain deeper insights into best practices and how to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in the agriculture sector.
The two-day event will feature sessions designed to give participants in-depth insight into the state of the agriculture industry today and exposure to the inherent opportunities, such as commodity break-out sessions, intensive and focused training programs, farmer -buyer matchmaking dialogue, training, panel education sessions, field demonstrations, keynotes, and exhibitions, whilst displaying, promoting business, and creating networking opportunities
2025: Creating An African Pathway
As we engage with stakeholders from across the agricultural value chain, we are laying the groundwork for: Creating an African Pathway for 2025.
By this, we seek to harness the collective expertise and resources of farmers, agribusinesses, policymakers, and development partners to address the pressing challenges facing the agricultural sector. By fostering collaboration and innovation, we aim to create sustainable solutions that empower African farmers and enhance food security across the continent.
Through targeted discussions, workshops, and practical demonstrations at this year’s event, we will identify key strategies and actions that will guide us toward a resilient agricultural future. Our focus will be on promoting technological advancements, improving market access, and enhancing productivity, ensuring that African agriculture can meet the demands of a growing population.
As we embark on this journey, we invite all participants to contribute their insights and experiences, helping to shape a shared vision for 2025. Together, we can establish a robust pathway that, not only elevates agricultural practices in Ghana, but also serves as a model for other African nations.
By working hand in hand, we can create an inclusive and prosperous agricultural landscape that uplifts communities and drives economic growth throughout the continent.
