Savanna Agri Chains doubles revenue, plans regional expansion
Ghanaian shea butter exporter Savanna Agri Chains aims to increase its sourcing from 22 to 40 districts and expand into Burkina Faso.
Ghanaian company Savanna Agri Chains, which processes and exports shea butter and baobab, has doubled its revenue between 2023 and 2025. Founded in 2016, the company works with over 1,000 women harvesters across 22 districts in Northern Ghana and holds EcoCert and Regenified certifications for its organic and land-restoring practices.
The company now seeks investment to expand its operations, aiming to increase its procurement coverage to 40 districts in Ghana and establish a presence in Burkina Faso's Central South Region. This expansion aims to grow the number of collectors and aggregators from 2,800 to 7,000, positively impacting their household livelihoods.
Savanna Agri Chains was recognized for its environmental impact through land restoration methods like composting and efficient water use. NFIL's support will help formalize the company's operations and prepare it for fundraising to centralize operations and upgrade processing equipment, capturing more local value.
