Women entrepreneurs in agribusiness now have the opportunity to apply for the GrowHer Agribusiness Accelerator Program, an initiative built to equip female-led agricultural enterprises with the tools, connections, and support required to grow into sustainable businesses.
Read more about Opportunities
The program is focused on boosting women-owned ventures across every stage of the agricultural value chain, offering customised business support, skills development, and pathways to expansion.
Backed by supporting partners, the accelerator is geared toward driving inclusive economic growth and increasing the presence of women within Africa’s agribusiness landscape.
The Bigger Picture
Despite their essential contribution to agriculture across Africa, women entrepreneurs continue to encounter obstacles when it comes to securing finance, accessing markets, building skills, and obtaining business support.
Initiatives such as the GrowHer Agribusiness Accelerator aim to close these gaps, arming women with the knowledge, relationships, and resources necessary to build strong, profitable agricultural businesses.
In supporting women-led enterprises, the program also helps drive job creation, strengthen food security, and advance broader economic inclusion.
