Ghana will become Africa’s first AI-powered agricultural hub following a $100 million investment from Degas Limited, a global agri-tech company. The four-year commitment was announced during the Ghana Presidential Investment Forum, held alongside the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) in Yokohama, Japan, after a meeting between President John Dramani Mahama and Degas CEO Doga Makiura.

The initiative positions Ghana as a key entry point for Japanese investors exploring West African markets. More than 100 Japanese companies expressed interest in new ventures at TICAD 9.
