Talking of mangos, I have bought dried sliced preserved mangos from Cosco for about $ 13.99. It is packaged like prunes ($7.99) and comes out of Asia, especially The Phillipines.

Hi Ayo and Tony. This is such a great episode. Large scale farming has such potential in Ghana. I’m wondering if you can do an episode on the process of buying land in Ghana and how to protect yourself from encroachment by royal families? It’s a huge issue in the Ga area of Ghana. Expats like me can own a house but have a lease on the land long term. The sales deed, or indenture, has to be filed with a judge for review and then registered with the Lands Department. Then the land itself must be registered through a separate process with the Lands Department as well. Encroachment happens when the chief who sold the land to the person or company you bought it from, and the royal family comes back to reclaim the land. It’s difficult to fight in court and many people lose their land because they did not file with the Lands Department. This is an important subject that expats are not aware of when they come to Ghana. 🙏🏻

[@gladstonefuller953]

Great video! I have had these ideas for a while now. It is good to know that others are thinking about the same things. Industrial scale activities for import substitution is a must for Ghana and other African countries. I have long wondered why chocolate is not processed in Ghana. Can anyone name a chocolate or chocolate product which is made in Africa? Yet, Ghana produces a lot of cocoa for which they earn very little money. The money is in the value added - chocolate and numerous by products. If I am not mistaken, it is foreigners who control the price of cocoa. Recently the Ghanaian president addressed some Europeans about changes to come in the selling of cocoa beans. I get the idea that he is thinking about doing all the good things with Ghanaians cocoa. It is about time. There should be African branded chocolate all over Africa and elsewhere in the world. I once told a Ghanaian lady several things that could be done with guava. She was shocked. There is a lot of food processing that can be done in Ghanaian and other Africans countries which would lead to all kinds of economic spinoff - farming, transportation, skills, etc I know that traditionally or historically, the African and Caribbean agriculture was not designed for anything more than primary producers of raw material which would be exported to the “colonial masters’ “ countries. This arrangement is still in existence today. Agri-processing and manufacturing was and is still not a part of the plan, and even if it exists in some measure, there is a strong likelihood that it is owned by foreigners. Hey, nothing is wrong per se if non Africans own businesses in Africa. My point is that there needs to be more African ownership. Africa. Leaders have been slow to disrupt the order of things for fear of losing handouts and loans which in the long run only keep their countries in poverty and tied to a model which keeps them begging. Industrialization is badly needed in Africa. A lot of Ghanaian and other African countries’ budget is spent on importing foreign goods that could be produced locally. Many paper and plastic goods are imported from China and probably India. Why don’t Ghanaian on the continent and those in the diaspora learn to combine knowledge and capital and invest in Ghana? I am including myself. Take for example, the mortar and stick that many Africans used to pound yam and other things, I have watched countless videos and saw that the design of the stick is not even designed. It appears to be just a simple branch of a tree. I am sure I could make a pounding stick (or pestle) that is more ergonomic and more efficient to the user. As a child in the Caribbean, our family had a mortar and pestle which was passed down from my great grandmother I was told. The oil in cocoa and from the various other things that were pounded preserved the wood to make it last. I am no longer in the Caribbean but I think this piece of family heirloom is still around. This is just one little idea I have. My larger point is that industries have to start in Ghana if we want to take take development beyond what it is today. There has to be a strong drive, passion and sense of urgency to develop. We have to think big but start small. There is no magic to it. If we do not make at least, some of the things we use, we will never develop. Others have done it and we can do it too. We need to get out of the mindset and role that “ the most wonderful British” enslavers/colonizer carved out for us. One component that is key to industrialization is a reliable and affordable supply of energy - electricity - to power the small cottage industries and the potential big ones. Do Ghanaians including the government see this as a prerequisite for development? I hope they do, and if they do, are they (government} working to improve the supply of energy?

Your guys are doing a good job. I like your content. Tell the pastor to check out 'utmost precision' channel. It is an agribusiness channel from Kenya. He should get all the information about raising ducks and even selling rabbit urine among other options. Agribusiness is really big in East Africa particularly Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda. The governments in these countries in the last 10-15 years have had specific campaigns targeting the young peoplewho had previously shunned agriculture as an occupation and it is starting to yield some good results. Blame the colonial footprint that left an education system focusing on employment rather than entrepreneurship but we are seeing a reversal of this trend all over Africa.. Peace.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

Thanks so much for that @Nzisa mutua, really appreciate it 😉!

[@TWTFarms]

But we can attest to the profitability of the animals we have had a buyer for the chickens before they even arrived at the farm, the pigs people are putting deposits down on and sold before they are even weaned. The hotels and restaurants have a high demand for them as well as the locals. The crops we have though have been just as profitable and in high demand but we do crop rotation so as soon as one crop is harvested the next is planted so depending upon what you grow and how much you grow you can still have a steady income.

@Jett Union - Duck is excellent, you must try and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@dedidinah305]

I now know why mangoes are so expensive in my local supermarket in Florida. Very educational content. Thank you.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

You are very welcome @Dedi Dinah. We got quite the education on the farm and could really see how a better system for processing, preservation, and even production can really impact the local farming community and the Ghana GDP. Thank you for your comment! ❤️️👍😊

[@axelagba5393]

Thanks for this interview. I am pretty sure he did the work regarding how much it will cost to have the infrastructure to process and keeping the fruits lasting longer instead of going rotten. So how much are we talking about here? I have no doubt about this pastor integrity and well intentions for whatever reason

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@Axel Agba - The investment amount is really up to you. He will work with groups to get to his goal or an individual that is more aggressively investing and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@bridgettedwards9397]

i love you guys, i wish to live in ghana on retirement but invest in something to keep a steady flow of income as well as helping to build in ghana

Greetings...I made it. Have been here a few weeks now, and you ain’t lying about the pork, and the roads . I tried the 🥓 and 😩!

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@M'adamme Cocoa - Akwaaba! There is hope for bacon...Emborg is the brand name of streaky bacon. We give it a 8.5 out of 10. It's actually pretty good. Can't help much on the roads and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@madammecocoa4950]

@@ExpatLifeGhana thanks on the 🥓. I did get some from shop rite. I will keep you posted on that one. I have also tried pork chops from the wholesale meat farm ( don’t know or remember where it was) but the chops were pretty good. So, I will see if I can get the 🥓 along with other meats. I will find out where it is located. The roads.....😭😭😭😭😭

[@shhagley]

Refrigeration and processing of meat have healthy profit margins,I would get into processing because you can be profitable on a smaller scale with a smaller investment than Refrigeration.All you really have to do is go to butcher school and watch some youtube videos on curing bacon,sausage.

Ask him to check Wode Maya's video about a Kenyan farmer who is into sustainable duck farming and he can get the contact from Wode Maya. Ayo is a good interviewer. Tony you can see the massive gap in Agriculture investment and infrastructure that is available in Ghana and Afrika generally.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@Ilemobade J A S - There are so many opportunities here for almost everything and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@shadrackbrobbey8401]

Hi Tony and Ayo, my wife and I surely enjoyed this farming presentation. I researched crowd farming recently and found out that we could invest in farming without necessarily being on the farm. I'll be in Accra early next year and I intend to link up with pastor Paul for the investment opportunities. I'll be calling him to set something up shortly. You guys are looking good. Ghana suits you👍👍

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@Shadrack Brobbey - Love that! I think there is so much more we can do together than alone! I love the idea of crowd farming, microloans, and funding the change we want to see in Ghana and in Africa. Thanks for the comment ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️... and thanks for noticing the Ghana-Glow 😉!

Hello Ayo and Tony, our sincere Condolences for the loss of Dr. Olu. I wanted to call you all. Will talk to you all later. My sincere Love and Respect to the family.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

@Shamsideen Balogun Thank you so much... we are heartbroken. I appreciate you sending the love. Talked to you dad and brother earlier in the week, thanks so your family for the loads of love. Talk with you soon ❤️️.

[@kindomofghana]

​@@ExpatLifeGhana Oh no, sorry to ask as I understand it might be painful but, is that Ayo's Dad? Ayo and Tony said one of the reasons they moved to Ghana was to be closer to him. Nonetheless, whoever it is, my condolence.

@Xiomara Kyle - We try our best to give useful information for anyone coming to Ghana. We appreciate the complements and thanks for the comment 😊!

[@Suetvvlogs]

good idea, chicken farm, and rabbits farm are the most profitable ones, ghana is the best place to start a chicken farm because of the high populations and consumptions of the meat, in fact, ghana import 95% of its own chickens and eggs, so if you set up a chicken farm in a tiny town just outside of acra I guarantee you, you make big money, that's exactly what I am going to do, Rwanda and Tanzania for sure attract me but in terms of profitable chicken business Kenya and ghana wins hands down, and what the pastor said is true, I have been doing my own research into the food industry in Africa and 95% of the food consumed in Africa are from foreigner countries, Africa its self doesn't produce much, in fact, most of those foreigners companies go to Africa, buy the product cheaply, take it back to their country, they process it there then resell the leftovers to Africa! there is a HUGE potential for food processing in Africa! animal farming, food processing, and agriculture are the businesses that I am planning to do, why? because the food processing business produces 550 billion dollars in annual revenue worldwide, 95% of that production is done in foreign countries, Africa is losing out on a lot of billions in the food processing industry, don't be surprised if in these next coming years the new African billionaires are from the agriculture or the food processing industry in africa, the food processing, agriculture, and animal farming is where the REAL billions are at!

[@fjohn8985]

I believe one of the issues in Ghana is the availability of quality feed. You may want to look up an interview on KZbin from 2014 with title 'Fish farming in Ghana -Development challenges'. Not sure if the situation has changed in recent times. The last I read online was a Dutch company (Koudijs) looking into building a quality feed meal for animal husbandry.

[@ExpatLifeGhana]

YAAAASSSSS @about sue tv !!! You've got that right all the way - Ghana (and other African countires) produce the food, have it exported with paltry profits because of the lack of preservation... and then have to import the processed foods back in at a higher cost (while all the profit of the industry stays abroad). We need to improve production, processing and preservation to stay competitive and increase the profits for African people. I really appreciate your take on things and thanks for commenting ❤️️🇬🇭❤️️!

[@Suetvvlogs]

@@ExpatLifeGhana exactly, the only reason why I am starting with the chicken farm is so that I can make enough capital so that I can start my own fruit processing plant, the chicken farm is the easiest way for me to make the capital that I need to buy all the equipment that I need to start, a lot of diasporas going back to the motherland are investing into real estate in Africa and are totally forgetting about the food processing and agriculture industry.

[@Suetvvlogs]

@@fjohn8985 yes that's also true, there aren't many companies in ghana that are dedicating to sell quality animal feeds, 95% of poultry farmers are buying their feeds overseas, that's another business right there!

[@garyhouston2679]

Oh no 🤦‍♂️! Ayo/Tony! I’m very sorry 😢 about the list of my beloved friend Dr. Olu. My deepest and sincere condolences to you all. I’m very glad you got to be there before his transition. Blessed love to you all. It is well.
