Our ProcessOur Process
Every step of our supply chain happens at origin — from cooperative aggregation to cold-press processing to traceable export. Quality stays at the source, and so does the value.
01
Fair-trade aggregation
We partner with smallholder farming cooperatives in Ghana's coconut-growing regions, paying fair, transparent prices that keep durable income at the source.
02
Cold-pressed at origin
Coconuts are cold-pressed on-site at our processing hubs into certified cosmetic-grade oils — preserving every nutrient and locking value addition into Ghana.
03
Farm-to-shelf traceability
Our technology tracks every step — from cooperative to cold press to export barrel — giving buyers the documentation their sustainability commitments demand.
04
Bulk wholesale, globally
We ship cosmetic-grade oils to manufacturers, distributors, and conscious beauty brands worldwide — consistent quality, ready for the world's most considered makers.
What We Do
Cosmetic-grade coconut oil, an agro-education campus, and a farm-to-table experience — built on the same Ghanaian land, each strengthening the others.
Cosmetic-grade. Cold-pressed. Globally exported.
Pure coconut oil pressed on-site at our Ghanaian processing hub — cosmetic-grade and food-grade, wholesale to manufacturers, distributors, and conscious beauty brands worldwide. Every batch is traceable from grove to barrel, and every barrel carries the documentation our buyers' sustainability commitments demand.
The processing facility is the engine of the venture. It's how we capture value at the source instead of exporting raw coconuts and importing the processed product back. It's how Ghana's coconut growers earn meaningfully, and how the campus and experiences are funded.
A ten-acre learning ground for Ghanaian agriculture.
Hands-on training programs in sustainable farming, eco and green business development, and youth agripreneurship — with food security at the heart. Aligned with COTVET accreditation standards, our curriculum is designed to match the real demands of the labour market and equip trainees with skills that are recognised and ready to deploy.
Cohorts are small and immersive, designed specifically for youth and women in peri-urban communities. Trainees see, do, and leave equipped to grow and feed their households, strengthen local cooperatives, and build the green enterprises that restore the food systems their communities depend on.
Agritourism, retreats, and farm-to-table dining.
Guided farm tours, multi-day stays in eco-cottages, sunset dining sourced from our own fields, and corporate retreats designed for organizations who want their off-sites to mean something. Ghana, slowly experienced.
The experience side isn't a sideline — it's how international visitors fund the infrastructure that supports the training, and how the community story finds its audience. Each guest leaves having seen exactly where their coconut oil comes from.
What We're Building
Ghana grows enough coconuts to supply a global industry. Today, most of that value leaves the country unprocessed. Here is the opportunity — and what we're putting on the ground to capture it.

Why Addae
Three reasons buyers, partners, and investors are choosing Addae — rooted in how we process, prove, and share value.
What commodity supply chains lose, we keep.
Cold-pressing happens on-site at our Ghanaian hub — within days of harvest, not after weeks of transit and refining. Every nutrient that gets stripped from refined commodity oils stays in ours. The same coconuts, processed correctly, at origin.
Every batch, documented from grove to barrel.
Beauty and food brands face growing pressure to prove their sourcing claims. We give them what their sustainability commitments demand: a digital chain of custody from cooperative to cold press to export barrel. Compliance-ready by default, not by retrofit.
When you buy from Addae, the value stays in Ghana.
Most coconut value leaves the country before it's captured. Our model keeps processing, training, and infrastructure investment at origin — creating durable rural jobs and farmer income that compounds over time. Buying from us means buying into the change.

Our Team
Addae Botanicals is led by a founding team that combines continental policy expertise, agricultural-tech rigor, and operational discipline — with one shared conviction: Africa’s botanical wealth belongs at the center of the global cosmetics industry, not its periphery.

Her journey began with a search for clean, authentic African products and deepened through years leading agribusiness programs, value chain studies, and MSME policy work across the continent. She recognized that Africa’s most valuable natural ingredients were leaving raw — and that processing at origin could change everything. She holds a Master of Public Policy in Global Agricultural Development from American University.
