Making More Food, More Profit & More Impact with farmers everywhere.
About us
We create access for all players in the agricultural value chain Farmerline is a company that develops solutions to increase access to farmers and simplify transactions throughout the agricultural value chain. Our focus on creating lasting profits for farmers everywhere has fuelled our innovations from the very onset. We are the first organization in Africa to give farmers access to information through voice messages in local languages, effectively bridging the knowledge gap among smallholder farmers. We are building the “Amazon” for farmers where they can access these timely services and other quality resources at affordable prices in their community. Since our inception in 2013, we have gone beyond serving farmers with information and resources that increase their yield. Now, we also provide global organizations with the tools they need to reach, engage and transform the agricultural last mile. Our belief in the power of technology to ensure sustainability across the agricultural value chain gave birth to Mergdata (www.mergdata.com); a mobile and web application for last-mile engagement. With this technology, we ensure that all last-mile engagements create access for all players, ensure transparency and efficiency, and ultimately, contribute to global food security. The software also offers real-time traceability, certification audit, farm mapping, farmer education, and analytics solutions to help organizations that work with farmers achieve their sustainability and food security goals efficiently. Mergdata uses big data and AI to give organizations insight into the work of farmers and to give farmers increased access to resources and services; including financial services.

The video below from #Ghana’s Ashanti Region shows women clearing cocoa farms in search of gold. This reveals a deeper issue: while cocoa has a reliable market, the income it provides farmers often falls short of covering rising costs and supporting their communities. Illegal mining and unsustainable practices threaten not just the environment but the livelihoods of communities who rely on agriculture to survive. Farmers shouldn’t have to choose between their land and their survival. The global chocolate industry is valued at over $130 billion, enjoyed by millions of chocolate lovers, and supports countless jobs across the supply chain. Yet, many of the farmers behind this industry face difficult choices as they balance farming with their livelihood needs. This is more than a local challenge—it’s a global conversation. Sustainable cocoa farming is essential to ensure the future of the chocolate we love, while also safeguarding livelihoods and protecting the environment. How can you be a part of the solution? 🌱 Offer reminders and training in regenerative farming practices. 💸 Provide affordable, sustainable financing. Most farmers already want to protect the environment. They just need to be able to afford it. 🛒 Create reliable, fair income opportunities for farmers By supporting farmers, we support the entire industry. When cocoa farmers thrive, the future of chocolate is secure. Let’s stand with those calling for change and ensure that the benefits of this beloved product reach everyone involved, from farm to table. #SustainableCocoa #SupportFarmers #CocoaIndustry #EthicalChocolate #Agriculture #Sustainability #ThisIsFarmerline #GroupeFarmerline #MakeMore #GROWByFarmerline #399 #1349 #8349 #7349 Alloysius Attah Worlali Senyo Lily Akorfa Keledorme Emmanuel O Addai

This year's Riga Food Fair was absolutely amazing! 👏 👏 👏 🍏 🍎 So many interesting flavours from Latvia and many other countries - a warm and friendly atmosphere and amazingly valuable discussions about food systems and our place in them. 💖 📢 I was happy to moderate the discussion on Forgotten Foods adding to the discussion new approaches on how Latvia and Ghana can collaborate for building better food systems. Hearing about the amazing things the Farmerline Group is doing with AI-enabled solutions for farmers, and linking it with the traditional intelligence (TI) embedded in the seed saving and sharing movement in Latvia, is really great! The future is definitely AI + TI or TI + AI 🌟 Traditional intelligence + Artificial intelligence 🌟 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dm9KTz82 and about Riga Food 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/dfHwjKJY Thank you Lily Akorfa Keledorme for sharing your thoughts and experiences ☀ #RigaFood2024 #FairRigaFood #FoodSystems #IndigenousCrops #Heirloom #DevelopmentCooperation #ForgottenFoods #LivingSeedBanks #Ghana #Latvia Michael A., Worlali Senyo, Alloysius Attah And many thanks to Ebenezer Agbozo for introducing to Farmerline!

Did you know that over 50% of global soil is degraded, and smallholder farmers are the most affected? At Farmerline, we aim to reverse this by providing farmers with climate-smart inputs, education, and market access, empowering them to thrive. Lily Akorfa Keledorme’s recent collaboration in Latvia with BICEPS and the Latvian Permaculture Society highlights our commitment. Together, they explored seed-saving and agroecological practices to enhance soil health and crop resilience. Exciting progress toward a sustainable future! 🌱💡 Click here for more pictures from the event: https://lnkd.in/eKbYenaU #Agroecology #SustainableAgriculture #Farmerline #ThisIsFarmerline #GroupeFarmerline #Agritech #399 #1349 #7349 #8349 Maija Kāle, PhD Lily Akorfa Keledorme Worlali Senyo Michael A.

It has been an incredible experience in Latvia these past few days, collaborating with amazing partners from the Baltic International Center for Economic Policy Studies (BICEPS) and the Latvian Permaculture Society. Together, we explored the potential of seed-saving technology and agroecological practices to enhance the soil health, plant nutrient density, economic and climate resilience of farmers. We aim to preserve our cultural heritage by focusing on indigenous crops while promoting sustainable farming methods. I was honored to share my knowledge and learn from others during our workshop, and I'm excited about the potential impact of our work. Afterward, a fruitful meeting sharing Farmerline's work and progress over the years with the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and BICEPS further solidified our commitment to this important initiative. Maija Kāle, PhD Michael A. Worlali Senyo Let's work together to create a greener, more sustainable future! #LatviaGhana #Agroecology #SeedSaving #SustainableAgriculture #CulturalHeritage #Collaboration #Partnership #Farmerline #BICEPS #Mission13
