Tamanaa Company Ltd (TCL), a Ghanaian agricultural company, secured the “Most Outstanding in Agribusiness “ award at the prestigious Africa Outstanding Professional Awards 2024 in Tanzania.
This award recognizes accomplished professionals across various economic sectors across the continent. The program aims to promote professionalism and contribute to Africa’s competitiveness in the global market.
Tamanaa empowers over 4.000 smallholder rice farmers, with women comprising roughly 60% of their beneficiaries. The company offers a comprehensive package of services, including mechanization (ploughing and harvesting), certified agro-inputs (seeds and fertilizers), training in best agricultural practices, and access to credit facilities. These interventions facilitate paddy rice production and aggregation for milling at the company’s 290 MT milling capacity per day facility at Nasia. Tamanaa’s positive influence extends beyond farm production, creating over 12,000 seasonal jobs within the rice value chain, especially for women and youth.
The Grains of Growth Program and Farmfit Technical Assistance supported Tamanaa over the past two years, contributing to Tamanaa’s operations and rice value chain transformation.
The CEO expressed: ” This award is a testament not only to our efforts but to God’s grace and IDH’s instrumental support. The IDH team deserves a significant share of the credit. On behalf of Tamanaa, we extend our heartfelt thanks for bringing the Grains for Growth project to Ghana. With your support, we have achieved this prestigious pan-African recognition. Congratulations to IDH as well!.”
