In August 2026, the Crédit Rural de Guinée and the startup Kumy launched the ‘Agriculteurs Connectés’ programme in Conakry. This initiative enrolled 4,000 farmers to provide precision agriculture through digital platforms, agronomic advice, and improved access to financing. CRG Director General Amara Kourouma stated the partnership aims to provide “solutions innovantes et des expertises techniques” to help farmers improve productivity and secure income. Other regional efforts have focused on food security and social empowerment. In the Dabola district, the NGO AGUISSA utilized the AgriFARM project to conduct awareness sessions on dietary practices and food diversification. Meanwhile, in Yembering, the Chalco Guinea Company S.A. has been supporting women’s cooperatives to help them manage climate and land challenges, aiming to foster female leadership and independent income through organized production. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-26: Guinea agricultural initiatives promote nutrition and female empowerment Agricultural and nutritional initiatives in Guinea are promoting food security and economic empowerment for rural communities, with a specific focus on women's cooperatives and local dietary practices. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guinea-agricultural-initiatives-promote-nutrition-and-female-empowerment ### 2026-08-06: Guinea's CRG and Kumy Launch Digital Agriculture Initiative Guinea's Crédit Rural and Kumy launched a digital agriculture programme on 6 Aug 2026, enrolling 4,000 farmers to receive precision‑farming tools, financing support and training. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/guineas-crg-and-kumy-launch-digital-agriculture-initiative --- Cite as: Agricultural development initiatives in Guinea.
