Nature Specialty Foods successfully registered in October 2019, as a legal food producing company in Ghana. The company produces Nature’s Yoghurt (strawberry & vanilla flavors) mainly from locally produced fresh cow milk. The company has registered its products with Ghana Food and Drugs Authority and acquired its certificates in March 2020, to produce and export for the next three years.
Sales Strategy: Nature’s yoghurt is selling very well at eight pharmaceutical shops in Tema and Accra, Ghana. Pharmacists are recommending the products as a natural probiotic to help improve health and nutrition. Other customers include families with young children who buy it for breakfast and as a healthy snack option for the family.
Production strategy: Locally manufactured machinery has been acquired by the company to move production from manual to semi-automatic.
Outcomes: Production and sales have experienced a steady growth after certification and investments, of about 10% bi-weekly.
Support: The company is receiving help from “Google My Business” to go digital and increase visibility.
