Everything for prosperous agriculture in West Africa
Partner for the green revolution
More prosperity through higher productivity
West Africa
In West Africa, around two thirds of the population work in agriculture, but their contribution to GDP is only one third - a prosperity gap that needs to be closed. The key lies in higher land productivity and greater regional food security. At the same time, agriculture offers potential for exports and further value creation.
BEST AGRITECH is revolutionizing agriculture in West Africa with a holistic 360° approach. We create highly productive farmland, optimize mechanized cultivation and supply high-quality agricultural machinery, primarily from German production, including maintenance and spare parts concepts. We also offer the best seeds, mineral fertilizers and sustainable marketing solutions for crop surpluses and export products.
Our goal: efficient, independent and competitive agriculture.
North Africa
We have been supplying agricultural wholesalers in North Africa with water-soluble speciality fertilizers and fertilizer manufacturers with precursors for granulated fertilizers since 2023. Our offer ranges from container deliveries in 25 kg bags for immediate distribution to entire shiploads in bulk. We take care of the entire process - from product selection and customized packaging to delivery to the port of destination.
Western Europe
In 2024, we restructured the distribution of calcium ammonium nitrate, the most widely used fertilizer in Western Europe, for a customer. This included selecting suitable storage areas, setting up the entire logistics, clarifying legal and tax aspects and acquiring customers in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, northern France and Germany. In 2025, we will expand our range to include additional fertilizers.

Aachen
Our office
The city of Charlemagne stands for a common Europe like no other major city in Germany. Situated in the border triangle of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, the seaports of Antwerp and Rotterdam are 1.5 and 2 hours' drive away respectively and there are numerous connections to Africa via Brussels and Düsseldorf airports.
In our highly digitalized world, we can create spaces for personal encounters and joint work on strategies and their implementation by eliminating mountains of files. The office in Aachen is our workplace and at the same time an intercontinental meeting place for our business partners from Europe, Asia and Africa.
