Farmcrowdy, Nigeria’s first digital agriculture platform has been selected by TechStars Atlanta as one of the members of the 2017 Class to participate in its accelerator program in partnership with Cox Enterprises. This makes it the only African startup that will participate in the programme.

Farmcrowdy’s CEO, Onyeka Akumah said: “We thank God for the progress He has shown us so far. We are super excited about this opportunity and will be looking forward to learning more from the TechStars Community on how we can scale our efforts from 1,000 currently engaged small-scale farmers to about 10,000 small scale farmers in the next 12 months.

“We also hope to learn about building more relationships with key agro-players in and outside Nigeria in addition to the ones we have while taking advantage of and amplifying the government’s efforts to grow the Agriculture space in Nigeria.
