This paper examines the Gnostic Agritech Limitless (GAL) Youth Agribusiness Start-Ups (YABSUS) programme as a practical model for rural agribusiness development in Ghana. Drawing on case studies of three programme beneficiaries, a rabbit and grasscutter farmer, an animal feed producer, and a farm tools fabricator, the paper documents how structured training, mentorship, and zero-interest financing convert individual passion into commercially viable enterprise. The programme's strengths are its demand-driven design, its integration of agroecological knowledge with business skills, and its deliberate creation of local value chains that retain economic surplus within rural communities. Key constraints include the need for scalable manufacturing infrastructure and stronger institutional linkages. The GAL model offers a replicable blueprint for agribusiness development that is inclusive, low-cost, and grounded in indigenous enterprise logic.
