About Me

I has been farming vegetables, chilies specifically since 2015. My first venture into chili production was in the north region (Kumbungu) for 3 years and moved to the Bono east region specifically Pamdu in the Kintampo south district and then to Zambrama in the Pru West district of the region to continue the cultivation of various crops with the inclusion of Chilis, Scotch bonnet and Green pepper. I have been processing them and sending to factories down south that further process into packages and packets for retail and export. I have worked and continues to work with small holder farmers either through aggregation of dried pepper in the northern region and creating a mini out grower scheme with them in Bono east region. My five year experience in the cultivation and aggregation of chili across the value chain as well as my insight into the terrain and the impact it has had and it can have on the livelihoods of farmers puts me in the best position to effectively execute this project. I have directly through production and through engagement with smallholder farmers produced, aggregated and supplies hundreds of tons of chili pepper to clients .
