AgriPro

Africa feeds the world. But Africa's agribusiness founders are still being treated like students.

Workshops with no follow-through.
"Exposure trips" that lead nowhere.
Mentors who've never run a farm, a cooperative,
or a supply chain in 40-degree heat.

AgriPro Catalyst W was built for something different.
16 weeks.
40 women-led agri-ventures across Africa.
Real accountability.
Real milestones.
Real responsibility.
Not a classroom exercise
But a programme designed to turn your agribusiness idea into something investable.

Here's what Catalyst W is actually about:
→ Pan-African cohort (you're not just learning — you're building a network that spans the continent)
→ 16 weeks of structured acceleration (enough time to go deep, not just scratch the surface)
→ 40 ventures supported (small enough to matter, large enough to move the ecosystem)

Africa's food systems won't be transformed by good intentions.
They'll be transformed by women with the skills, capital connections,
and peer networks to execute at scale.

If that's you, or someone you know ?

Women grow Africa's food. But the system wasn't built for them.

Women make up 60–80% of Africa's agricultural labour force.

They wake before dawn.

They till the soil.

They plant, tend, and harvest.

They feed families, communities, and nations.

And yet — they produce 20–30% less than their male counterparts.

Not because they work less hard. Not because they care less. Not because they lack skill or drive.

It's an infrastructure problem. Full stop.

They lack:

❌ Land — because ownership laws and customs exclude them

❌ Capital — because financial systems weren't designed with them in mind ❌ Markets — because access and mobility remain unequal

❌ Networks — because the rooms where deals are made are still largely closed to them.

The FAO has sounded the alarm: progress has stalled.

2026 is the UN International Year of the Woman Farmer. This is a challenge to every government, every investor, every agribusiness, every development organization: what are you actually doing?

Studies show that giving women farmers equal access to resources could increase agricultural output in developing countries by up to 4% — enough to lift 100–150 million people out of hunger.

The woman farmer is not just a symbol of change. She is a solution.

The question is:

will we build the infrastructure she deserves?

At AgriPro, we believe the answer must be yes — and we're committed to being part of that change.

♻️ Repost if you believe Africa's agricultural future must include ALL of its farmers.
