We source goods through our farmer network and process them before exporting to international markets. We import and process grains and rice, and manufacture a range of packaged foods formulated for Ghanaian consumers.
Our success is thanks to the relationships we’ve built with farmers, distributors and partners over the last 25 years. It’s also based on our ability to understand local markets and innovate.
We operate across multiple locations, from buying stations to warehouses, from factories and mills to offices.
