Food factory advice from people who have built their own

We don't just advise on food factories. We've built and tested our own.

Verdure Africa takes food entrepreneurs and investors in Ghana and across Africa from recipe to a working, FDA-ready production line, with advice tested on factory floors in Ghana and other African markets. Almost three decades of combined food science and technology experience, since 2017.

Food science meets practical industry know-how.

Established in Accra in 2017 as a registered limited liability company, Verdure Africa helps clients turn ideas into practical food processing operations — and then stays to run them. We have installed bottling lines, drying plants, feed mills and treatment plants for clients across Ghana, and managed several of them for years afterwards. We also develop our own processing ventures, so the advice we give is the advice we follow ourselves.

Our focus extends beyond Ghana to entrepreneurs, food businesses and investors across Africa. Whether you are starting a new venture or expanding an existing operation, we shape our advice around your product, local raw materials, production needs and target market.
