About Us

AgroProsperity Cooperative Alliance is a forward-looking agribusiness movement committed to restoring dignity, profitability, and sustainability in African agriculture. More than a farmers’ network, it is a cooperative-driven ecosystem designed to eliminate exploitation, unlock wealth creation, and make agriculture an attractive, aspirational sector for the next generation.

Anchored on its vision of building a society where agriculture is profitable, sustainable, and globally competitive, and its mission to empower farmers and cooperatives through innovation, value chain integration, and collective ownership, the Alliance is strategically positioned to reshape Africa’s agribusiness landscape.



Through strategic goals focused on profitability, productivity, financial integration, economic diversification, global competitiveness, and sustainability, AgroProsperity provides farmers and agribusiness stakeholders with the tools, structures, and partnerships they need to thrive. Its model leverages cooperative clusters, innovative financing, modern technology, and collaborative ownership to transform agriculture into a driver of inclusive growth.

At its core, AgroProsperity is building a continental movement that reduces dependence on food imports, positions Africa as a net exporter of agricultural commodities and processed products, and guarantees food security and shared prosperity for generations to come.
