Our Systems Change Journey in Digitising Africa's Agrifood Systems
SyeComp envisions Africa’s agrifood system driven by massive technology adoption interlinked via open digital platforms with seamless on and off-farm interactions. At SyeComp our work is more than delivering impact-focused digital solutions for African rural smallholder farmers… our work is directly focused on the people we connect to climate information, finance, and rural markets daily. We pride ourselves working in hard-to-serve locations with a dynamic knowledgeable team.
SyeComp is strengthening rural markets in Africa with efficient and timely market price information, crop calendar, & hyperlocal climate advisory as bundled products.
Creating a secured and long-lasting agrifood system is a pivot to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs). Hunger, rural poverty, malnutrition, and climate variability are complex constraints that require redefining global food value chains to become more inclusive, efficient, diverse, and climate-smart to provide avenues for rural economic opportunities.
Agriculture in Africa is largely private-sector driven and requires scalable market-oriented approaches. Over the past 11 years, SyeComp has contributed to systems change by nurturing and strengthening commodity supply chains through bundled digital products significantly boosting productivity of smallholder farmers.

As a direct to market impact-focused social enterprise, SyeComp has impacted 275,900 smallholder farmers in rural Ghana, having reached over 560,000 last 10 years. Added to this, close to 820,000 rural farm families in Ghana have indirectly attained economic enhancement from SyeComp’s digital services.
SyeComp’s market-based digital solutions, mutually-beneficial partnership efforts, and unique value-added business models have effectively led to the launch of mfarmPay, a scalable loan origination and credit scoring infrastructure to unlock billions of traditional and climate-focused financing for rural smallholder African farmers. This innovative financial product seeks to address cyclical credit access challenges of African smallholder farmers and to derisk smallholder farmer financing for financial institutions.
Over the past 10 years, SyeComp’s bundled digital services have helped rural farmers grow more food sustainably, whiles creating jobs at different stages of the agricultural value chain with significant benefit towards female farmers and youth. Institutionally, the company is led by youth and female experts managing varied leadership positions as it grows.
SyeComp’s rural presence across all commodity segments have enabled trust and commitment with over half a million farmers in Ghana with digital finance, climate information , and enriched rural markets.
Focusing on reaching and impacting at least 9 million farmers in Ghana and Kenya within 4 years and targeting to serve 90 million rural smallholder farmers in multiple rural African markets by 2030, SyeComp is psyched to deliver SDGs success and enrich farming systems across Africa.
