Honouring Mabel-Ann Akoto-Kwudzo’s Achievement at the GIZ Women in Agribusiness Awards 2023

 In Ghana, a country where rice is a staple, strengthening local production is vital, especially against the backdrop of shifting international rice markets. At Cropslist, our mission is clear: to discover and promote Ghana’s hidden agricultural talents, particularly in rice cultivation.

Celebrating Local Farming Progress: The Story of Mabel-Ann Akoto-Kwudzo

In the heart of Ghana’s flourishing rice industry, Mabel-Ann Akoto-Kwudzo stands out. Her recent honour at the GIZ Women in Agribusiness Awards 2023 is not just a personal triumph but a beacon of Ghana’s potential in rice farming.

Cropslist’s Mission: Unveiling Ghana’s Agricultural Potential

Our goal at Cropslist is to reveal the less-known yet incredibly talented agricultural producers of Ghana. We’re currently focused on rice, striving to introduce the unique varieties cultivated by thousands of smallholder farmers to a wider audience. Our platform is about giving consumers a meaningful choice — opting for locally-produced, superior-quality Ghanaian rice over familiar foreign brands.

Okata Farms: Emblem of Modern, Sustainable Farming

Okata Farms, offering their rice produce under the Oka Foods brand, exemplifies the transition from traditional to modern farming. Since the 1980s, they’ve adopted practices that are not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. Soon, consumers will have the opportunity to purchase Oka Foods rice directly through Cropslist.com, experiencing the quality first-hand.

Mabel-Ann Akoto-Kwudzo: A Force for Community and Environmental Well-being
