Our company is customer based, not product based.
Relationship Building
Our customers mean the world to us. We therefore strive to work hand in hand with our clients to meet their needs and expectations. We do not believe in one-off business transactions, but rather long standing business relationships that are mutually beneficial, hence we take painstaking steps to maintain our business relations by ensuring our customers get the best products and service on the market.

The quality of our products is our source of pride. We hold this value dearly at all stages of our production chain. Through teamwork and commitment to our values, we work effortlessly to maintain superior quality by:
- Sourcing out the best suppliers for our raw materials.
- Providing attractive and quality packaging for our all products.
- Implementing good quality management practices on our product lines.
Creativity/Innovation
Our efficiency is borne out of creativity and innovation, as such, we constantly develop new methods to improve our levels of production, while maintaining quality standards. Our Research and Development (R&D) department has a relentless responsibility for creating authentic, ethnic, quality and innovative culinary food ingredients and gourmet food product lines. R&D department has developed a range of ready-to-eat (RTE) and ready-to-cook (RTC) food products which will be launched soon.
Our Human Capital
We search the market for the best people for the right jobs for our company. This approach ensures that at all times we have the best and highly skilled people at each stage of production. Ours is to recruit, develop and retain the best the market has to offer.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Our deep understanding of community and sustainability urge us to give back to the community through our adoption of orphans and destitute children. We also offer financial support to orphanages and currently in the process of adopting some of these children to support them in their education. Due to our dedication to orphans and destitute children, we ensure that there is no child labour involved in the processes of our agro-business.
The company ensures that all purchases of its agro-products for export such as; Gari and Red Palm Oil are from women co-operative associations. This policy is in line with the government of Ghana’s poverty alleviation programme, to improve the livelihood of a great number of women in the country’s rural regions and districts.
Our journey was a vision started by our founder and present CEO Felicia Twumasi, who conceived the idea of creating, building and establishing a food processing company on her kitchen table. It was a BIG dream indeed. Her dream was to build an agro-business empire adding value to perishable agro products, thereby enhancing food security leading to creating wealth for farmers and the nation.
After being in operation since 1995, Homefoods has grown from a very humble kitchen table business to a factory floor with over 150 employees.
We operate from four processing sites as we have outgrown our present processing factory floor. Future plans include relocating into our modern facility by 2017 so as to incorporate all these sites..The dream of building an AGRO-FOOD PROCESSING EMPIRE is not far from achieving as we synergise the initiatives of our professionals, experts , farmers and sundry to realise our dream of building sustainable food security for the nation and leaving a legacy of initiative and creativity for posterity.
Homefoods plans to be a global food ingredients purveyors, providing quality, innovative, authentic, ethnic, culinary and gourmet range of food products.
The welfare of our employees mean a lot to us. We believe the relationship building between employees, both senior and junior, including factory workers, and involving their families through social events, is a prime factor for good corporate governance.
One of our core values is to build capacities in the social, economic, physical and logical aspect of an individual irrespective of their position in the company. During social events which is organized every mid- year, we get to know each other better by interacting in different social disciplines. The inner self of some colleagues are known as they socialize informally. These events as well as the annual end of year employee excellence awards party are very important calendar dates in the company.
