Who we are
About Us
We are leading the transformation of agriculture in Africa with AI-driven vertical smart farming.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of Pluton Invest, we are committed to revolutionising food production through technology, efficiency, and sustainability.
Traditional farming across Africa faces climate unpredictability, soil degradation, and outdated farming methods – all of which impact food security and economic stability.
Our smart agribusiness parks provide a high-tech, scalable alternative, ensuring year-round, high-yield production with minimal resource waste.
We focus on high-value crops, starting with strawberries and saffron, using AI-controlled vertical farming to eliminate seasonal shortages and significantly reduce environmental impact.
By leveraging technology, we are setting new benchmarks for agricultural productivity, food safety, and market access.

At Africa Farming Industries, we are proud to be at the forefront of this transformation – bringing together expertise, technology, and sustainability to redefine Africa’s agricultural future.
Why Africa Needs Agricultural Innovation?
Africa has vast agricultural potential yet imports over $50 billion worth of food annually due to inconsistent yields and inefficiencies in traditional farming. Erratic weather, depleted soil, and limited access to modern farming tools continue to threaten food security and economic stability.
By embracing AI-driven smart farming techniques, Africa can shift from food dependency to food sovereignty. These technologies provide climate resilience, higher yields, and greater efficiency, ensuring that African agriculture can meet the demands of its rapidly growing population.
what we can do
Our Approach
At Africa Farming Industries, we recognise that agriculture is the backbone of Africa’s economy, yet it faces growing challenges that demand innovative solutions. Our approach is built on five key pillars that drive our success and create lasting impact:
AI-Driven Smart Farming
We integrate Artificial Intelligence and data-driven analytics into every aspect of farming, allowing for real-time monitoring and predictive decision-making. AI tools assist in:
- Optimising fertilisation and irrigation, reducing waste.
- Detecting pests early, minimising pesticide reliance.
- Improving soil health, enhancing long-term productivity.
- Ensuring consistent, high-quality produce year-round.
Vertical Farming for Climate Resilience
By shifting to controlled-environment agriculture, we ensure year-round production while reducing reliance on unpredictable weather conditions. Our AI-controlled vertical farms:
- Maximise land use by growing crops in stacked layers.
- Use 90% less water than traditional farming.
- Are pesticide-free and fully organic, ensuring high-quality, nutrient-rich produce.
Strengthening Food Security & Economic Growth
By investing in high-demand crops and AI-driven agribusiness, we:
- Reduce Africa’s reliance on food imports.
- Create new job opportunities in high-tech agriculture.
- Support local farmers through training and collaboration.
Sustainability & Resource Efficiency
- Zero-waste farming models: Organic byproducts are repurposed into natural fertilisers.
- Carbon footprint reduction: No need for long-haul transportation, thanks to strategic urban farm locations.
- Smart logistics and supply chain integration: AI-driven market forecasting ensures minimal waste and maximum efficiency.
Global Market Reach
Our strategic partnerships include global export networks and logistics providers, ensuring that Africa’s premium produce reaches both local and international markets.
