Applications are open here until July 21 for the prize, which will choose one male and one female winner based on the innovation, originality, scalability and environmental sustainability of their business ventures.

In addition to the US$50,000, the GoGettaz Agripreneur Prize also offers these agripreneurs the chance to attend the Africa Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) meeting in Accra, Ghana. Finalists will also receive mentorship, programming linkages and guidance to continue their entrepreneurial journey.

Applicant entrepreneurs must be aged 35 or below, with a legally registered venture in a country which is a member of the African Union.
