The following are the PRIMARY crops we deal in

Overview:
Soybean (Glycine max) is a high-value, protein-rich legume critical for Ghana’s poultry feed industry (which consumes ~80% of local production) and export markets (e.g., Turkey, India). Its nitrogen-fixing properties improve soil fertility, making it ideal for crop rotation.

Key Advantages for Farmers:
✅ High Demand: Domestic demand exceeds 300,000 MT/year; global demand for non-GMO soy is rising.
✅ Profit Potential: Earn GH₵ 3,500–5,000/acre with certified seeds and mechanization.
✅ Climate Resilience: Drought-tolerant varieties available for northern Ghana.

How Obrightey LTD Supports Soybean Farmers:

  • Mechanized Planting: Precision seed drills ensure optimal spacing (30–40 plants/m²).

  • Post-Harvest: Threshing, cleaning, and hermetic storage to maintain premium quality.

  • Market Access: Aggregation and links to processors/exporters.

Overview:
The shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) produces nuts used for shea butter, a staple in cosmetics (e.g., L’Oréal) and food (e.g., chocolate). Thriving in Ghana’s savanna zones, it’s a low-input, high-return crop for women-led cooperatives.

Key Advantages for Farmers:
✅ Economic Empowerment: Women earn GH₵ 2,000–4,000/season from nut sales.
✅ Climate Adaptation: Deep roots withstand droughts (critical for Upper West/East regions).
✅ Long-Term Value: Trees yield nuts for 50+ years with minimal maintenance.

How Obrightey LTD Supports Sheanut Farmers:

  • Fair-Price Aggregation: We eliminate middlemen, paying 20–30% above local rates.

  • Processing Training: Teach best practices for drying, cracking, and butter extraction.

  • Export Readiness: Grade nuts to meet EU/US cosmetic standards.

Did You Know?
“Ghana is the world’s 2nd-largest shea exporter, earning $90M annually (GEPA, 2023).”

Overview:
Maize (Zea mays) is Ghana’s top staple crop, vital for food security (e.g., banku, kenkey) and poultry feed. With yields as low as 1.8 MT/ha (vs. global avg. of 5.8 MT/ha), mechanization and inputs can triple productivity.

Key Advantages for Farmers:
✅ Fast Turnover: Matures in 90–120 days (2 cycles/year possible with irrigation).
✅ Guaranteed Market: 100% local absorption (no export risks).
✅ Income Boost: Potential earnings of GH₵ 4,000–6,000/acre with hybrid seeds.

How Obrightey LTD Supports Maize Farmers:

  • Land Prep: Tractors for timely ploughing/harrowing (critical for rain-fed farming).

  • Input Bundles: Subsidized certified seeds + NPK fertilizer packages.

  • Threshing Services: Reduce post-harvest losses from 30% to <5%.
