Ghana-EU Business Forum Highlights New Opportunities in Agro Sector

Following the just-ended 2025 Ghana-EU Business Forum in Accra, one thing is clear: agro-business is fast becoming one of Ghana’s most promising growth areas.
In his keynote speech, H.E. President John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana, highlighted the vital role the agro sector plays in reshaping our economy. From smallholder farmers to export-led manufacturers, the message was clear: agro-based natural products are the future.

Why Natural Products Are Driving Ghana’s Agro-Business Export Boom

At South West Six Ltd., we’ve seen the momentum building around agro-based natural exports. Products like:

  • Wholesale Shea Butter
  • Wholesale African Black Soap
  • Carrier Oils (such as Baobab Oil, Castor Oil, and Neem Oil)

…are opening global doors—not only in trade but also in job creation, skills development, and inclusive income generation.


Traditional vs. Non-Traditional Exports in Ghana’s Economy

For years, Ghana has been known for exporting gold, cocoa, and timber. But today, there’s growing recognition that our non-traditional exports—like skincare ingredients, natural wellness products, and plant-based oils—deserve just as much attention. Organizations such as the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) are playing a key role in helping these sectors reach international markets.

These products are rooted in local communities, especially women-led cooperatives and rural agro-processors who ensure that every product carries value from source to shelf. As demand for natural skincare products rises, businesses are seeking reliable suppliers. Our Unrefined Shea Butter and Natural Carrier Oils are ideal for formulating high-quality products.


The Case for Investing in Ghana’s Agro-business Sector

Why should wholesalers, beauty brands, retailers, and investors care?

  • Global demand for natural products is surging, driven by conscious consumers.
  • Ghana offers unique, high-quality natural ingredients with traceable sourcing.
  • Value addition in Ghana means higher margins, local jobs, and long-term impact.
  • There is room for strategic partnerships in branding, logistics, supply chain development, and ethical sourcing.

Whether you’re an established brand or a startup formulator, there’s space to build with partners who know the terrain.


South West Six Ltd’s Commitment to Agro-Processing & Ethical Trade

We’re not just exporting raw goods—we’re:

  • Investing in cleaner processes
  • Creating local employment opportunities
  • Partnering for traceable, ethical supply chains
  • Supporting small producers with technical know-how and market access

From soap makers in the Ashanti- region to women’s co-operatives in the Northern region, we’re working across Ghana to grow a brand that brings natural products to the world—sustainably and at scale.
