See AbusuaPa's Impact
AbusuaPa means "Good and United Family" in the local Twi language.
We transform local communities into our family by investing capital and creating jobs in sustainable food production. We focus on harnessing each community's potential to be an integral part in tackling food insecurity in Africa.
We transition our partner communities from polluting and harmful jobs like charcoal production to sustainable food production.
Our Pilot Maize Project
Maize is a crucial ingredient for animal feed and food for human consumption. By growing our own maize, we have weathered volatility in global prices to keep our egg production costs lower and better serve our AbusuaPa Smallholder Farmers. In our first community alliance, we obtained 1,000 acres in Ghana's Savannah Region to pilot a maize farm. We doubled our planted acreage in 2023 from 2022 levels. This program provided over 500 jobs to the community.
