What Is AgriMining?
Diversifying Income and Ensuring Sustainability
AgriMining is a partnership program by AfriSwiss that helps small-scale miners improve their income by combining two powerful sources: mining and agriculture.
We provide training, tools, and guaranteed buyers so miners can extract gold and grow food without harming the land.
Whether your mine is active or old, we help you turn it into something that gives back to your family and your future.
Maximize Your Earnings with AfriSwiss
In many parts of Africa, artisanal miners often rely on middlemen and brokers to sell their gold. These intermediaries frequently control pricing and processing facilities, leading to reduced profits for the miners. AfriSwiss changes that.
By partnering directly with miners through the AgriMining Program, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and ensure that miners receive fair market prices for their gold.
In addition to better earnings, miners gain access to free ore testing, modern equipment, farming resources, and training in ethical, mercury-free practices.
This holistic approach helps miners grow their income, improve their skills, and build stronger, more sustainable communities — all while working with a trusted, licensed refinery.
Challenges of Artisanal Mines
Unfair Pricing
Middlemen often offer prices below market value, diminishing miners' earnings.
Lack of Transparency
The involvement of multiple brokers can obscure the true value of the gold and the fairness of the transaction.
Limited Access to Modern Equipment
Traditional tools hinder productivity and safety.
Limited Market Access
Dependence on local brokers restricts miners' ability to reach broader, more lucrative markets.
Environmental Degradation
Unsustainable practices harm ecosystems.
Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals
Use of mercury and other substances poses health risks.
No Formal Recognition
Operating informally means no access to financial services and legal protection.
