ECONOMIC ENCLAVES PROJECT
Transforming Agriculture at Scale
Overview
De-Risking Agriculture for the Private Sector
The Economic Enclaves Project (EEP) is designed to remove barriers to large-scale farming by providing litigation-free land, reliable infrastructure, and a well-coordinated ecosystem that supports and attracts private sector investment.
By enabling agribusinesses to scale efficiently, reduce risk, and drive sustainable agricultural growth across Ghana, the project contributes to job creation, food security, and long-term economic transformation.
Anchor Farmer Model
Land is acquired and developed by MiDA, then given to anchor farmers for large-scale farming. A training ecosystem is built around each enclave, partnering large anchor farmers with smallholder out-growers to create sustainable value chains.
