Walewale Climate-Smart Rice Milling Project, Ghana

Through FarmerTribe’s Farm Academy, we empower local growers with hands-on training and comprehensive advisory services to professionalise their farm management.

By facilitating access to pest and drought-resistant crop varieties specifically suited to the region's changing rainfall patterns, we help farmers maximise their agricultural capacity. This targeted support enables them to use water, land, and organic fertilisers with precision, securing their livelihoods and producing more food on less land.

The project operates on a three-year timeline, structured to scale impact efficiently. Phase 1 is already completed, marking the successful site acquisition in Walewale and the establishment of an initial partnership with FarmerTribe. Currently, we are in Phase 2, actively deploying working capital to complete the facility and install high-efficiency milling machinery. Over the next six months, Phase 3 will commence with the launch of extension services for the first 1,500 farmers, alongside the initiation of the first-season paddy off-take. Finally, Phase 4 will span years 2 and 3, focusing on scaling operations to reach the full capacity of 5,000 participating farmers.
