Amaati Group (previously Unique Quality Product Enterprise)

Empowering rural women through farming indigenous Fonio grains

2016 SAG-SEED Award Lauréat-e Sustainable Agriculture Tamale, Ghana

It’s a climate resilient crop, it has lots of nutritional properties missing in today’s cereals and it’s a woman’s crop in my area, so it indirectly gives access to land to women.

Partnerships play a very key role. What it did for us was to reduce our costs of production and costs of processing.

Developing our business plan with SEED resulted directly in getting funding for key infrastructure.

People said it was impossible. But it happened. The culture is still there, the tradition is still there, but women have access to land today.

Amaati Group (previously Unique Quality Product Enterprise) trains marginalised women suppliers in agronomic practices to farm Fonio, an indigenous grain that has low water requirements and can withstand adverse weather conditions. The enterprise dries, de-husks, packages, stores and markets Fonio cereal products for household consumption.

The company assists its suppliers with acquiring land for cultivation and buying the harvested grain at guaranteed prices. It currently produces 15,000 kg of Fonio weekly, and promotes production, sales and consumption of Fonio by improving post-harvest processing, developing marketing strategies and raising product awareness.
