Success Story: From Small-Scale Farmer to Thriving Agribusiness Owner .How AgriNova Africa Empowered John Mwangi to Build GreenHarvest Farms

John Mwangi, a young agripreneur from Kenya, started his journey in agribusiness with just a small piece of land and a passion for farming. Like many aspiring farmers, he faced challenges such as unpredictable weather, lack of access to quality seeds, and limited market connections.

Determined to succeed, John joined an agribusiness training program supported by AgriNova Africa, where he gained knowledge in sustainable farming techniques, financial management, and market linkages. Through our mentorship program, he connected with experienced agribusiness leaders who guided him in improving productivity, adopting modern technologies, and accessing funding opportunities.

With a small loan and a well-structured business plan, John expanded his farm, incorporating greenhouse farming and drip irrigation to maximize yields. He strategically focused on high-demand crops such as tomatoes and bell peppers, securing contracts with local supermarkets and restaurants.

Today, GreenHarvest Farms is a thriving agribusiness that supplies fresh produce to multiple markets, employs 15 people, and serves as an inspiration to other young agripreneurs. John is now mentoring other farmers and exploring agro-processing opportunities to add more value to his products.

John’s story is a testament to the impact of AgriNova Africa’s training and mentorship programs in transforming agribusiness ideas into sustainable and profitable ventures. We are proud to support young farmers like John in overcoming challenges and creating lasting change in the agricultural sector.
