We design affordable, sustainable technology that helps smallholder farmers preserve more of what they grow — turning post-harvest loss into new income, and agricultural waste into opportunity.
Founded in 2023 in Accra, Ghana, MelDAK Agro designs affordable, sustainable technology that helps smallholder farmers preserve more of what they grow.
Our flagship dehydrators are built to be easy to assemble and disassemble — powered by solar and thermal energy using readily available materials. They give farmers a practical way to dry produce, convert it into long-storage powder, and transport it with ease.
Beyond preservation, we're turning agricultural waste into opportunity: our process converts cocoa pod husk into theobromine-free flour, a viable maize substitute for animal feed. By connecting farmers with designers, packaging and a route to market, MelDAK Agro builds value across the entire chain — reducing post-harvest loss while creating new income streams.
Recognized within the Kosmos Innovation Center Ghana ecosystem, MelDAK Agro is committed to innovation, sustainability and youth-driven entrepreneurship across West Africa.
Easy to assemble and disassemble, built from readily available materials, and powered by the sun — a practical way to dry produce anywhere.
Dried produce is converted into long-storage powder — lighter to transport, longer to keep, and easier to bring to market.
We convert cocoa pod husk into theobromine-free flour — NutriPlus, an eco-friendly, nutritious feed for fish and poultry, and a viable maize substitute that turns waste into value.
We connect farmers with designers, packaging and buyers — building value across the entire chain and creating new income streams.
