The entrepreneur has come a long way from her humble business beginnings when she set up Homefoods in 1995. Working from home, she first exported 100 cartons of palm oil in 1997, then shipped her first 20ft container in 2008.
She hopes to ship 500,000 litres of palm oil, per week to Europe, the United States, West and South Africa. Felicia Twumasi has expanded her business now.
A visit from our Netherlands Customers (Asia Express) to our Accra Office on 15th November 2019.
Felicia Twumasi established Homefoods in 1995. The idea for a business had been brewing since she was at convent school. Initially, the company focused exclusively on the export of red palm oil, securing substantial market share through a partner in the UK under the Blue Bay label, but today it also produces a range spices and seasonings, sauces and local Ghanaian favourites such as gari. Jeanette Clark spoke to Felicia about putting a supply chain in place, export vs local markets and the grind to grow the company’s customer base.
Homefoods was priveledged to host our European customers (Fresh Tropical) at our Accra Office-Odorkor.
