The Guinean government has launched a Digital Agricultural Input Management Platform as part of efforts to modernise the country’s farming sector and improve access to quality agricultural inputs.
The platform was officially unveiled on January 15, 2026, in Conakry at a ceremony attended by senior government officials, including the Minister of the Budget, representatives of the National Chamber of Agriculture, technical and financial partners, and other stakeholders in the agricultural value chain.
The initiative is a key component of Guinea’s National Strategy for the Sustainable Supply of Agricultural Inputs, which was developed with support from the African Development Bank under the Emergency Food Production Project (PPAU).
According to the government, the platform is designed to ensure that farmers have regular access to quality inputs in sufficient quantities and at affordable prices, with the aim of boosting productivity and improving the competitiveness of the agricultural sector.
The digital system is also expected to strengthen the role of the private sector in the procurement and distribution of agricultural inputs, while enabling the government to focus on regulation, oversight and support.
Officials said the digitalisation of agricultural input management would contribute to improved food self-sufficiency, enhanced nutritional security and sustainable development, marking a significant step in Guinea’s broader agricultural modernisation agenda.
The launch underscores Guinea’s growing focus on technology-driven solutions to address long-standing challenges in the agricultural sector and support farmers more efficiently.
