About Oboafo

One society.
A stronger future.

“Oboafo” speaks to the spirit of help—and that spirit is at the heart of our co-operative.

Formed by members in and around Accra, the Society recognises that farmers achieve more when they organise around common needs. By working together, members can pursue easier access to production support, stronger prices for produce and better living standards.

Our co-operative model gives every member a place in a community built on participation, responsibility and mutual progress.

Co-operation in actionFor farmers. By members.
