The HAPPY Programme Agri-SME & Finance Summit brought together a diverse group of stakeholders including youthโ and women-led agribusinesses, financial institutions, equipment suppliers, and development partners to explore innovative solutions for improving access to finance and technology across Ghanaโs key agricultural value chains.
The summit provided a platform for meaningful dialogue on unlocking financing, expanding market linkages, and strengthening the capacity of agri-SMEs in sectors such as poultry, rice, soybean, and tomato processing. Participants shared success stories, identified key barriers, and discussed practical ways to bridge the financing gap for small and growing agribusinesses.
A key highlight was the emphasis on collaboration between private sector actors, financial institutions, and development partners to design sustainable financing models and enable young entrepreneurs, particularly women, to thrive in agribusiness.
The HAPPY Programme continues to serve as a catalyst for inclusive agribusiness growth, promoting innovation, resilience, and long-term sustainability within Ghanaโs agricultural ecosystem.
