The opportunity
Green Gold Farms is going to be the largest vertically orientated, and value adding agriculture business in Ghana
Ghana’s population is expected to hit 30m people by 2020. With such a growing population without a matching increase in production, the demand for food has also increased over time.
To supplement our food production, the country has resorted to importing all kinds of food items including tomato, rice, onion, carrot, poultry products, etc. which runs into several hundreds million of USD.
We will reduce Ghana’s food import bill by 60% over the next 10 years. We are starting our project on 700 hectares.
Over a 10-year period we are going to cultivate over 800,000 hectares of farmland.
Grow. RENEW. Transform. Excel.
Our mission is to move 1MM Ghanaians out of poverty in remote areas and enhance sustainability
Green Gold Farms Ltd. intends to leverage on Ghana’s geographically central location which places Ghana in a good place to serve as food basket to the West African sub-region. This combined with other equally conducive factors such as stability of government, good arable land, perfect climatic conditions, labour and a good business climate, ranked 1st in West Africa as the preferred investment destination, will ensure that the business thrives and meets investor’s expectations.
