Buy from Ghana, with our team in Accra

Updated October 2026Reading time 7 minBy Wigmore Trading
Accra team on the groundShea, cashew, fruit & cocoa products

Ghana is the world’s second-largest cocoa producer and Africa’s biggest gold producer, and it is also a leading source of shea butter, cashew and pineapples. Two of those, cocoa beans and small-scale gold, are sold through state bodies, which is why so many private offers for them online are not what they seem. Our Accra team knows which products you can buy directly and which you can’t.

Raw cashew nuts & kernels Yes, in season Season usually starts around February; we check moisture and outturn (KOR)
Pineapples, mangoes & papaya Yes Fresh by air or reefer, or dried and juiced
Cocoa beans Not from private sellers Ghana’s cocoa beans are marketed through COCOBOD; we can supply cocoa products from local processors
Gold (small-scale) Not from private sellers Small-scale gold exports now go through the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod); offers that bypass it are a red flag

Ghana gold and cocoa offers

If someone offers you Ghanaian gold or cocoa beans at a discount, outside the state bodies, with an upfront fee, walk away. Read our anti-fraud guide.
