OUR HISTORY
Management Style
The co-founders are motivated problem solvers and we continuously invite in Stakeholders & Shareholders who are passionate about agricultural businesses including the oil palm industry with its challenges especially at the smallholder level.
GAP has been built around the direction of farms becoming firms. This we focus on causing improvement in Agriculture and agri-business coupling with on-ground validation for the success of our business model to enable us capitalize on the opportunity within Ghana and Africa.
Uniqueness in Industry
GAP’s business in Oil Palm cultivation and CPO production uniquely functions on a close contact approach with smallholder farmers and provides solutions to challenges in their value-chain activities.
Our approach focuses mainly on providing innovative solutions to smallholder oil palm farming to improve productivity and this distinguishes us from our competitors in the industry, who mostly focus on their owned farms for production as their proposition.
OPPORTUITIES (AGROPROCESSING)
There exists presently a demand deficit of over 30,000mt and 850,000mt of palm oil (Oil Palm products) in Ghana and Africa respectively for both Industrial and end user consumption.
Ghana has utilized only 30% of its potential lands out of 1 million hectares zoned for oil palm cultivation, leaving around 70% (700,000 hectares) available for new plantation cultivation.
In Ghana 80% of existing plantations are owned by small and individual farmers, whose farms are mostly neglected or undermanaged. These farms open up an opportunity where GAP capitalizes on.
The Government of Ghana places tax incentives and reliefs for local agro-companies, giving a maximum of 10 years tax reliefs on operations.
