Northern-Savanna and Complete Farmer Launch 500-Acre Organic Sesame Project for Export

Northern-Savanna Crops and Tubers Limited has entered into a strategic partnership with Complete Farmer Limited to cultivate over 500 acres of organic white sesame specifically for the international market. Based in the Upper East Region of Ghana, this initiative seeks to merge traditional organic farming methods with modern agricultural technology to boost productivity and provide local farmers with direct access to high-value global trade. The project is designed to position the region as a hub for organic agriculture, tapping into the growing global demand for sustainably produced oilseeds.

Under the agreement, Northern-Savanna, a woman-owned enterprise, will leverage its extensive holdings of approximately 10,000 acres of tested organic farmland. Their focus remains on regenerative agriculture and empowering women within the local agricultural value chain. Complementing this, Complete Farmer Limited will contribute its proprietary agricultural technology and market expertise. This synergy is expected to streamline the production process, ensuring that the sesame meets strict international standards for organic certification while providing the necessary infrastructure to bridge the gap between rural producers and foreign buyers.

Beyond immediate production goals, the partnership is a cornerstone of a broader mission to foster wealth creation and enhance food security in Ghana's northern territories. By transitioning from subsistence farming to commercial-scale organic production, the initiative aims to provide sustainable livelihoods and economic resilience for rural communities. The collaboration also emphasizes community development, ensuring that the economic benefits of global agricultural resources are felt directly by the farmers on the ground.

Looking ahead, Northern-Savanna plans to establish a comprehensive organic crop enclave by 2027. This long-term vision includes securing full organic certification for a wider range of crops and expanding the infrastructure required to support large-scale exports. By integrating innovation with sustainable land management, the partnership between Northern-Savanna and Complete Farmer sets a new benchmark for how private sector collaborations can drive agricultural transformation and rural enrichment in Ghana.
