Our Team

Extension Africa is on a mission to create a reliable agribusiness extension system for African farmers.

Our "Why"

Africa is uniquely positioned to meet the challenge of feeding itself and the world, and spur economic growth. However, this potential is still met by a declining efficiency in production by rural farmers. The link to these farmers is still weak and innovations are barely adopted. This creates an urgency for an efficient system to deliver life-saving innovations to the last mile.

We are creating reliable and efficient channels to connect rural farmers to Global Supply Chains.

It all started with a passion to make farming a sustainable & inclusive business

A sustainable system starts with a win-win solution for all. We strengthen agricultural extension and advisory service delivery by creating an active network of business advisory agents who also serve as aggregators, farm/farmer managers, farm inputs suppliers and tractor services providers.
This creates a paradigm shift towards Agribusiness Extension through an activity-based service delivery that ensures agents earn higher as the size of their farmers and services offered to these farmers increases.
We call our extension agents “Farmer Business Associates” for a reason! Our associates are selected from the farming communities, are tech-driven, trained on the best agronomic and business practices, and have a deep understanding of the local context.
Today, we are known with a reliable extension system in the industry.
