Mirepa Investment Advisors, through its Mirepa Capital SME Fund I, has announced an investment in Wami Agro, an agritech company based in Ghana.
Wami Agro provides farmers with access to finance and guaranteed market access. The company also offers capacity-building programmes, including information, education, and farm input recommendations to improve yields.
Enyonam Kakane, executive director of Mirepa Investment Advisors, commented: “This investment comes at a time when agricultural value chains are in dire need of investments which they are not obtaining from the normal channels. The export opportunities that Wami Agro presents also means that this company will contribute to stabilising the cedi with inflows of foreign currency. The Wami team has demonstrated great stewardship in the past and we look forward to exciting results from this investment.”
Caleb Edwards, managing director of WamiAgro added: “This strategic investment from Mirepa Investment Advisors will enable us to expand our reach, enhance our technological capabilities, and continue to drive positive change in the food and agricultural industry in Ghana and beyond. We are excited about the opportunities this partnership brings and remain steadfast in our mission to make wholesome food ingredients available, accessible, and affordable.”
