Description

Issahaku Bagum (seated on the right) is proud of the work he does with the John Deere tractor he purchased with a loan facilitated by Feed the Future’s Financing Ghana Agricultural Project.

Through a partnership between Feed the Future and John Deere, hundreds of Ghanaian farmers are increasing their yields. Through this partnership, John Deere covers part of the interest rate on loans, offers training, and provides equipment warranties to Ghanaian agribusinesses to purchase their tractors. This has had transformative results for thousands of Ghanaians in agriculture and agribusiness. Agribusiness dealer Issahaku Bagum was able to bring tractor services to more than 40 groups of 800 farmers, helping them to increase the total acreage they cultivated by more than 65 percent.

This partnership has increased Illinois company John Deere’s Ghanaian sales by more than 20 percent, and is increasing opportunities for U.S. agricultural equipment to enter the Ghanaian market.

Expected Result: Increased food security, incomes, and agricultural productivity.
