Our journey began in the Techiman region of Ghana, where some of the world’s finest yams are grown. We traveled there to meet directly with local farmers and their communities, to understand their work, traditions, and challenges. What we found was a rich heritage of farming knowledge, passed down through generations, and a community deeply committed to growing food with care.
From the start, we made a promise: to buy directly from farmers at a fair price. This commitment ensures that the people at the heart of the supply chain are supported, and that yam farming remains sustainable for future generations. By working closely with local growers, we’ve built a relationship based on trust, respect, and shared prosperity.
The journey of our yams is a testament to quality and care. After being harvested in Techiman, the yams are carefully prepared and transported directly to the port in Accra. From there, they are shipped to Durban, South Africa, and then delivered to our hub in Johannesburg. This supply chain allows us to deliver fresh, authentic White & Puna yams to the South African market while maintaining full traceability from farm to table.
Ghanaian yams are known for their naturally rich, slightly sweet flavor that deepens when cooked. Unlike some tubers that can taste bland, these yams carry a depth of flavor that enhances both traditional and modern dishes. Whether fried, boiled, pounded, or roasted, Ghanaian yams bring a wholesome, authentic taste that keeps people coming back.
Yams from Ghana are typically larger, denser, and more uniform in quality compared to many imports. Each tuber is hand-harvested and carefully selected, giving you more value in every purchase. Their size and consistency make them a reliable staple for family meals, celebrations, and everyday cooking.
