  • Eden Tree founder Catherine Krobo Edusei has stepped down from day-to-day leadership after 29 years but will remain a director and Founder Emeritus.
  • Grant Webber of Black Star Africa is the new CEO, with plans to expand operations across West Africa, increase production, and strengthen the supply chain.
  • The new investors aim to reduce post-harvest losses by installing solar-powered cooling facilities, expanding drip irrigation, and organizing outgrower cooperatives.
  • The transaction provides an exit for impact investment firm Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P), demonstrating a healthy investment lifecycle in Ghana.

Why This Matters

This acquisition signifies a significant boost for Ghana's agribusiness sector, attracting foreign and local investment into a critical industry. It promises to enhance food security by reducing post-harvest losses, create jobs through expanded operations, and improve farmer livelihoods, contributing to overall economic growth.
