Freshmacs Ghana

Founded in 2002, Freshmacs purchases a wide variety of high-quality fresh produce from farmer cooperatives in Ghana for export to European markets. Freshmacs exports a wide variety of produce including chilies, raw mango, plantain, yam, shallots, sugar cane, pineapple, bananas, garden eggs, and papaya. Its European buyers are mostly suppliers for large supermarkets.

Locally owned and operated, Freshmacs provides employment to a small staff of 14, and generates additional income for approximately 336 small holder farmers. Also, through its partnerships with several international organizations, Freshmacs provides training for its farmers to improve the quality of their crops and to enable them to work toward industry-standard certification.
