Complete Farmer has launched two digital platforms, CF Grower and CF Buyer, to help
farmers produce more efficiently and give buyers a more reliable way to source agricultural
commodities.
The platforms, launched in Accra on June 11, 2026, are designed to connect farmers, buyers
and other players in the agricultural value chain through a more structured digital system.
For Complete Farmer’s Chief Executive Officer, Desmond Koney, the platform is personal.
He said his background in a farming family shaped his desire to build a system that improves
the experience of farmers and helps them earn more value from their work.
“My dad was a farmer, my grandfather was a farmer, and I felt the need to change the
narrative of farmers,” he said.
Koney explained that Complete Farmer is building a bridge between farmers and buyers,
making it easier for both sides to transact smoothly. He noted that farmers often need
support not only to grow successfully, but also to sell successfully.
Speaking on behalf of the Director of PIAA, Dr Peter Boamah Otokunor, Programmes
Coordinator Emmanuel Owusu said Ghana’s growing use of technology creates a strong
opportunity for digital agriculture to thrive. He expressed confidence that farmers and
agribusiness professionals would embrace platforms that improve productivity and market
access.
Early users of the platform have also praised its simplicity. In a video shared during the
launch, one farmer described the experience as refreshing, saying it reduces the stress of
moving from one market to another in search of agro-inputs. The user also noted that the
platform provides clear steps to guide farmers from planning through to contract
completion.
Chief Technology Officer of Complete Farmer, Kola Olajide, said the platform includes
artificial intelligence tools that allow farmers to scan crops with their phones and identify
nutrient deficiencies.
“Now you can use your phone to scan a crop and it can tell you where the deficiencies are,”
he explained.
He added that the system was built with smallholder farmers in mind, including offline
functionality supported by field agents. This allows data to be collected in areas with poor
connectivity and synchronised once internet access is restored.
With CF Grower and CF Buyer, Complete Farmer is positioning itself to support a more
structured agricultural value chain, where farmers can access guidance and markets more
easily, and buyers can source produce with greater confidence.
The launch marks another step in Ghana’s digital agriculture journey, offering a practical
model for how technology can improve production, strengthen market linkages and create
new opportunities across the sector.
