Raw Materials

Connecting farmers to markets, ensuring fair prices

Our Raw Materials Program

Bridging the gap between farmers and businesses across Ghana

Farmers with raw materials

At Improve Africa, we understand that one of the biggest challenges facing farmers in Ghana is access to reliable markets for their produce. Our Raw Materials Program addresses this challenge by directly purchasing agricultural products from farmers and connecting them with wholesalers and manufacturing companies.

This initiative not only ensures that farmers receive fair prices for their produce but also creates a reliable supply chain for businesses that depend on agricultural raw materials. By eliminating middlemen and streamlining the process, we create value for both farmers and businesses.

How It Works

A simple process that benefits both farmers and businesses

1

Farmer Registration

Farmers register on our platform, providing details about their farm, crops, and estimated production capacity. Registration can be done online, through our mobile app, or at any of our regional offices.

2

Quality Assessment

Our field officers visit registered farms to assess the quality of produce, provide guidance on quality standards, and estimate harvest timelines. This ensures that all raw materials meet the required standards.

3

Harvest and Collection

When crops are ready for harvest, farmers notify us through the platform. Our collection teams arrange pickup from the farm or designated collection points, reducing transportation costs for farmers.

4

Payment Processing

Farmers receive payment directly to their mobile money accounts or bank accounts within 48 hours of collection. Our transparent pricing ensures farmers know exactly what to expect.

5

Distribution to Businesses

We aggregate, sort, and distribute the raw materials to our partner businesses based on their requirements. This efficient supply chain ensures businesses receive quality materials when they need them.
