Ghanaian healthtech startup AgriMed raises $12m Series A

AgriMed, an Accra-based healthtech and agritech hybrid that uses smartphone image recognition to diagnose crop diseases and connect farmers to vetted agro-input dealers, has closed a $12 million Series A funding round led by Partech Africa, with participation from Flourish Ventures and the CDC Group’s Catalyst portfolio.nnThe company, founded in 2021 by crop scientist Dr Esi Asante and software engineer Kwadwo Acheampong, has onboarded 180,000 smallholder farmers across Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria. Its app analyses photos of diseased crops and returns a diagnosis with treatment recommendations within forty seconds, alongside a referral to a verified nearby input dealer.nnThe fresh capital will fund an expansion into Kenya and Tanzania, tripling the engineering team and building AgriMed’s own logistics layer to enable same-day delivery of inputs to farmers in peri-urban areas.nn”Crop disease is stealing 25 to 40 percent of harvests from smallholder farmers across West Africa every year,” said co-founder Dr Asante. “We are giving farmers knowledge that was previously only accessible if you could afford an agronomist on call.”nnThe company’s revenue model combines a subscription from agro-input dealers who access the referral network with a transaction fee on input sales facilitated through the platform. Monthly active users grew 340 percent between January 2025 and June 2026.nnPartech Africa managing partner Tidjane Dème said AgriMed represented exactly the kind of technology-enabled business model that could move African agriculture forward at scale. AgriMed is the fourth Ghanaian startup to raise over $10 million this year.
