PART 2 OF I left ITALY to become a PINEAPPLE FARMER in GHANA....


The Ekumfi Fruits and Juices Company Limited, headed by FREDRICK KOBBYNA ACQUAAH and partners, was the first factory President Nana Addo Dankwa AkuffoAddo inaugurated at Ekumfi under the OneDistrictOneFactory in 2017.

The facility is the biggest fruits processing factory in West Africa, with the capacity to process 10 tons of fruits per hour.

Funded by the Exim Bank Ghana Limited, the agricindustrial intervention has significantly gingered the spirit of entrepreneurship.

Mr Frederick Acquah, the Director of Operations at the facility, allayed the fears of the public that there will be lack of reliable raw materials supply to support production saying “we have a very strong raw material supply base that would significantly create 1000 direct jobs and 6000 indirect jobs in the district and beyond.”

Per the company’s fiveyear strategy vision, it is cultivating more than 4,000 acres of pineapples in many communities in the district as well as in the neighboring districts that would in all, produce 80 million fruits per annum for the processing line.

It has also projected 600 acres per year, in preparing to switchgear to the next phase of cultivation that would see the expansion of its raw material base up to the projected 4,000 acres needed to feed the factory at full capacity.

The company also seeks to expand and sustain its 19 sharedgrower sites established in Ekumfi Nanaben, Narkwa, Abor, Eyisam, Otuam, Egyaakwa, Asaman, and Gyankoma.
