# 50 leading Farming companies in Africa
Tamtam tracks 63 Farming companies headquartered in Africa. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by GHANA COCOA BOARD, Senwes and Les Domaines Agricoles. Their median headcount is 349. Half of them were founded in 1976 or later. The most common headquarters are Nairobi (7), Cairo (3) and Casablanca (2).
The farming companies listed here are primarily large-scale agricultural enterprises, including both private corporations and government-linked entities. They span various agricultural sectors, from crop production and agro-industry to seed development and agricultural services. Many of these companies have a long history, with several founded in the mid-20th century.
Key players include GHANA COCOA BOARD, which supports cocoa, coffee, and sheanut production; Senwes, an agricultural entity in South Africa offering input supply and financial services; Les Domaines Agricoles, a Moroccan group in agricultural production and agro-industry; and BIOCOM, Angola's largest producer of sugar, ethanol, and electricity. A notable pattern is the strong presence of companies from South Africa, Morocco, and Egypt, alongside significant government involvement in the sector.

## How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
