Cargill extends partnership with Orange Corners Ghana

Orange Corners is excited to announce the extension of its strategic partnership with Cargill, a global leader in food and agriculture, in Ghana. This renewed commitment will strengthen our collective mission of empowering young entrepreneurs in Ghana through mentorship, training and funding opportunities. With this extended collaboration, we aim to build on past successes and create an even greater impact in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Since Orange Corners Ghana‘s inception, it has supported over 1,000 entrepreneurs, equipping them with the skills, networks and resources they need to scale their businesses.

Cargill has been a trusted partner to Ghana for over 40 years, sourcing high-quality cocoa and investing in local value chains. In 2008, the company established its state-of-the-art cocoa processing facility in Tema, further reinforcing its commitment to sustainable growth and economic empowerment.

“We’re excited to be among partners making a lasting impact in Ghana. The country has incredible entrepreneurial potential, both in cocoa and other sectors. This programme aligns perfectly with our commitment to support communities where we operate and nurture businesses that’ll shape the future, locally and beyond,” said Mr. Max Essoh Latte, Managing Director of Cargill Ghana.

“We deeply appreciate Cargill’s belief in Orange Corners Ghana’s vision. This collaboration will go a long way in empowering young ambitious entrepreneurs, fostering innovation and strengthening Ghana’s startup landscape. We’re excited about this partnership and look forward to even greater possibilities in the future,” said Patricia Jumi, Managing Director and Co-Founder of GrowthAfrica.

Cargill is part of a wide and varied network of private sector partners such as Fidelity Bank, Meridian Port Services and Vivo Energy who provide invaluable support to entrepreneurs through organised masterclasses, one-on-one mentorship and access to critical business resources.

Orange Corners Ghana and Cargill are laying the foundation for a stronger, more resilient entrepreneurial ecosystem where Ghanaian startups don’t just survive but thrive.
