“There are always new ways of doing things, that is why Tiwala is not afraid of the big players in the industry, we don’t usually focus on competition, but are very fixated on partnerships, because we believe the organic market in the US is big enough to accommodate us all. As a Ghanaian resident in the United States, I believe it is only right to take advantage of the large arable lands in Ghana to increase our organic foods thresholds for export.” He stated.

We have had several meetings with the leadership of Tiwala, and I know they have been very impressed with the strategies we are adopting to form the farmer-based organizations, provide organic inputs to the farmers, organic protocols we are developing and the certification authorities we are going to be working with. This partnership is good news to African farmers especially farmers in Ghana and other West African countries. All stakeholders involved in the organic food trade must be excited with this partnership.” He revealed.
