Aeroponic farming is a soilless technique where plant roots are suspended in air and misted with nutrient-rich water. It is transforming urban agriculture in Africa.
By using minimal water and space, aeroponics allows cities to grow fresh, high-quality produce year-round, even where land is scarce. These innovators are showing that modern, sustainable farming can thrive in Africa’s toughest environments.
Here are the Top 5 Aeroponics Systems Providers in Africa as of 2025:
— Agrotonomy / Tower Farm Africa: Deploys aeroponic tower systems across Kenya, Nigeria, Cape Verde, Ghana, and beyond. Their installations use up to 90 percent less water and support reliable, all-season food production, making aeroponics accessible to farmers and communities across the continent.
— Aero Greens (South Africa): Builds vertical farms using aeroponic mist systems inside repurposed shipping containers. Their controlled-environment setups are designed for dense urban areas, offering fast crop cycles and high-quality produce with minimal resource use.
— VertiGenix (South Africa): Operates a commercial greenhouse combining aeroponics and hydroponics to grow leafy greens, herbs, and strawberries. They also supply aeroponic systems to growers in Southern Africa, helping farmers transition to water-efficient, soil-free agriculture.
— LFP Group / Aeroponic Solutions (South Africa): Specializes in aeroponic greenhouse design and system installation, offering tower-based systems with optimized water recirculation and LED-assisted growth. Their models support high-density production and consistent output throughout the year.
— Aerosun Farms (Algeria): Provides aeroponic vertical farming systems built for indoor, climate-controlled environments. Their approach focuses on energy-efficient production, clean growing conditions, and rapid crop turnaround for urban and peri-urban markets.
More African companies are entering the aeroponics space, but these five stand out for their verifiable operations, innovation, and measurable contributions to modern, soil-free agriculture across the continent.
This ranking is based on verified aeroponic operations, evidence of active system deployment, and publicly available information from company websites and credible industry sources. Only companies with clear, measurable activity in Africa’s aeroponics ecosystem as of 2025 were included.
