Agribusiness collaboration

Agribusiness Specialist and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact Limited, Mrs. Juliana Asante-Dartey, has called for bold and decisive actions to transform Ghana’s agricultural sector, stressing the need for coordinated efforts across government, private sector, and development stakeholders.

She made the call at the Regional Agribusiness Dialogue for the Bono and Ahafo Regions, held at the Eusbett Hotel in Sunyani on Monday. 

The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MoTAI), together with leading agribusiness firm Agri-Impact Limited, PwC, and other key partners, have held the first in a series of regional agribusiness dialogues aimed at gathering input for Ghana’s forthcoming National Agribusiness Policy.

The first regional dialogue came off in the Ashanti Region on Friday, October 10, 2025, and was held at the Impact Building of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

Agri-Impact Limited has announced a partnership with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to deliver accredited short courses focused on equipping young people with practical skills for the job market.

Deputy CEO of Agri-Impact, Mrs. Juliana Asante-Dartey, disclosed the collaboration at the company’s Dinner and Awards Night, which climaxed the week-long Wrap-Up of the Young Agribusiness Professionals Program (YAPP).

Public and private sector firms have been urged to stop assigning national service personnel (NSPs) menial tasks and instead provide them with the skills, mentorship and hands-on training they need to contribute meaningfully to national development.

The call was made by Daniel Fahene Acquaye, Group Chief Executive Officer of Agri-Impact Limited, who warned that the country risks weakening its human capital potential if companies continue to overlook the value of young graduates entering the workforce.

Ghana must intentionally develop indigenous agribusiness champions to drive industrialisation, create jobs, and position the country on the global trade map, Dan Fahene Acquaye, CEO of Agri-Impact Group, has said. 

Speaking at the National Agribusiness Dialogue held at the Kempinski Hotel, Gold City, Accra on Monday, July 28, 2025, Mr. Acquaye urged stakeholders to pursue smart policies, strategic partnerships, and export-driven incentives to nurture local firms into billion-dollar Unicorns.

His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, the Vice President, Hon. Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Distinguished Guests and Dignitaries, Captains of Industry, Partners, Industry Stakeholders, Ladies and Gentlemen;

Today marks a remarkable day where vision, desires and aspirations meet to reset the course of agribusiness, a sector that holds transformative potential for our economy, our people, and our future yet characterized by structural disconnect between primary production and industrial demand. 

Leading agribusiness firm, Agri-Impact Limited, continues to invest in the professional development of its staff to drive innovation, productivity, and efficiency.

Over the years, the company has sponsored employees for specialized training programs and fellowships, reinforcing its commitment to excellence in agribusiness.
