Farmerline Incubation Track

GCIC has partnered with Farmerline to provide full incubation support to 10 agribusinesses (Farmers / Aggregators / Input dealers) within Farmerline’s network of farms. The 10 agribusiness are also known to work with over 12,000 farmers.

This means that beyond the 10 agribusiness to be impacted with full businesses incubation services, the initiative will also leverage its field trainings and demonstrations farmers to impact the larger group of farmers with partial incubation services focused on climate smart agriculture innovations and technologies.

More significantly, Farmerline will also leverage the Farmer helpline, to educate the over 12, 000 farmers. This will be achieved by creating content from the masterclass programs, translating, and disseminating them as voice messages to these farmers using their Mergdata platform.

The programme will support MSMEs across five regions of Ghana – Greater Accra, Ashanti, Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo, for six (6) months, to scale their operations and fortify climate adaptation practices within their enterprises. The programme runs until August 2025.
