HISTORY

  • Akuafo Nketewa Company Limited (AKN) was established in 2016 as a limited liability agribusiness firm dedicated to delivering innovative agribusiness solutions within Ghana’s agricultural value chain, with a special focus on supporting smallholder farmers across Ghana. Our primary mission is to transform Ghana’s subsistence farming culture into a profitable, sustainable industry that drives wealth creation. To achieve this, AKN empowers farmers with modern, efficient food production techniques, access to quality farm inputs, and mechanization services. We further support value addition and food processing, with a strong emphasis on empowering women and youth in agriculture. Our journey began with staple crops such as sorghum, maize, soybeans, rice, and cashew nuts. Since then, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner to farmers and agro-based industries. We initially operated in six key regions—Upper East, Upper West, North East, Northern, Volta, and Oti were strategically chosen due to the rich natural and human resource endowment in these areas for improved agricultural productivity. 


    Since inception, AKN has been dedicated to enhancing the livelihoods of peasant farmers by providing farm inputs, produce aggregation services, mechanization, poultry production support, guaranteed markets for eggs, and training in best agronomic practices. Over the years, AKN has continuously evolved, always committed to supporting farmers and contributing to agricultural development and global food security. Our growth from modest beginnings to becoming a leading agribusiness company reflects our unwavering dedication to improving agricultural productivity, ensuring food security, and reducing poverty across the region
