About Us

Who We Are

NELIA’S FOODS is a Ghanaian-owned, youth-led agribusiness founded in 2020 with a clear purpose: to transform locally produced agricultural commodities into natural, quality, convenient and ready-to-use food products while creating opportunities for farmers, women and young people.
Over the years we have evolved into a growing food-processing brand focused on value addition and reducing post-harvest losses. Today, Nelia’s Foods processes locally sourced agricultural produce into shelf-stable products, including powdered ginger, garlic, onion, chilli, dawadawa, okra and other food products. Our goal is not only to process food, but to build stronger links between farmers, processing and markets, ensuring that more value is retained within local communities. We operate a processing facility in Wa, Upper West Region- Ghana, where we transform fresh agricultural produce into safe, convenient and quality products for consumers in Ghana and the global market. Through our work, we support the development of local value chains while promoting good agricultural and manufacturing practices, food safety, innovation and climate-resilient approaches to agriculture.
Our growth has been shaped by continuous learning, strategic partnerships and participation in business development programmes. We have benefited from partnerships with organizations including USAID, GIZ, Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC), TechnoServe, Mastercard Foundation and other development partners. We have also participated in KIC’s Business Booster training and USAID-supported training on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Nelia’s Foods has received recognition for its entrepreneurial journey, including winning the Silver Prize in the Coalition for Positive Impact (CPI) Igniting Dreams Pitch Competition and being named Innovative Business of the Year at the UWESU Awards in 2020. Beyond our products, Nelia’s Foods is building an impact-driven agribusiness.
