Olam Food Ingredients (OFI), a leading supplier of cocoa beans and cocoa ingredients and one of the largest private Licensed Buying Companies (LBCs) in Ghana’s cocoa sector, has supported hundreds of female cocoa farmers to earn additional sources of income.
As part of the company’s sustainability ambition, Cocoa Compass, the projects are intended to empower women by giving them the tools and training they need to take charge of their finances and increase their incomes above and beyond cocoa.
So far in 2021, women from over 20 communities in the Twifo Praso and Assin Fosu districts have been trained in the production of liquid soap, shower gel, bleach, and hand sanitizers. They are also shown how to bottle and market the finished products.With facilitators from the Inner-City Development Center in Accra, the women are encouraged to pass on their news skills to their peers.
