Our history
Our journey began from a spandrel in Mamprobi, a suburb of Accra in Ghana. The vision was clear from day one: to build a Pan African Diversified Food Company with far-reaching capabilities to change the way people live through food.
In less than five years, the Company has moved into its own ultra-modern factory on a fifteen-acre land area on the Kwanyako-Akotsi Road, Gomoa East, in the Central Region of Ghana, employing over one hundred people of different African nationalities directly and working with several farmers and distributors across Ghana.
From one product (Moringa Tea), the Company grew to eleven products under its first two brands, Sankofa and Huga. Today our range spans four brands: Sankofa Natural Spices, Sankofa, Deedew and Tealeys.
Our relentless quest to advance the health and nutritional needs of the everyday consumer is at the heart of our growth. This is backed by a sense of urgency to touch more lives through food and in the process make life better for many more.
Health and wellbeing
We will continuously focus on building and strengthening unique health-and-wellbeing-led capabilities within the food industry and be agile enough to be both proactive and responsive in addressing the nutritional needs of society.Good Profit
We approach the future with discipline, financial prudence and an unwavering commitment to our purpose. To do good for society and be profitable enough to do more for the consumer, take care of our Associates, reward our shareholders and give back to society sustainably is what we call “Good Profit”. That’s our pursuit for the future.We are about making life better every day.
We are a Diversified Food Company focused on delivering wholesome (healthier and relevant) food consistently and sustainably.
Whether spices, beverages, pre-packed food or staples, we innovate, source, produce and distribute with a focus on ensuring that the nutritional needs of the final consumer are thoroughly optimized. At the heart of what we do are four fundamental elements:

“The order by which things are done is as important as the things we actually do.”
We look at food broadly through the lenses of the wider society’s nutritional and lifestyle needs. We continuously look out for opportunities across the food value chain and build capabilities for effective action toward offering healthier options.
Care and integrity
Because we get an equal measure of what we give, we relentlessly work to deliver what we promise with utmost care and integrity. That way, we contribute to society meaningfully and whatever reward we receive is then a good measure of the value we create for our Customers, Associates, and Partners.
Our role in society
We believe that a business has a role to play in society. Our obligation is therefore to provide long-term value in a responsible and mutually beneficial way. Our business must be able to influence society in ways that optimize gains for the customer, our people, shareholders, and society as a whole.
