The beginning of building a legacy
The establishment of AMG, began with a simple desire of an enterprising young marketer, Mr. Ernest Akwasi Appiah, who wanted to make a positive and lasting impact in the country’s agricultural sector. His priority was for every farmer to adopt and apply appropriate best farming practices that can help them produce high results by using effective specialized fertilizers.
Mr. Appiah’s desire was to develop innovative and produce tailor-made crop specific solutions to meet the needs of different farmer groups, in different ecological zones.
AMG Fertilizers, was established ten (10) years ago, with presence only in Kumasi and with two (2) employees, has steadily grown, through diligence and dedication to become a leading independent brand with highly efficient fertilizers products specific to every crop requirement.
Since January 2021, the AMG agronomic team have engaged farmers in various districts across the country in fertilizer training, and on-farm demonstrations to increase farmers knowledge and expertise in crop production technologies in collaboration with SARI and the CSRI.
