Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is agro-processing and why is it important?

    Agro-processing involves converting raw agricultural produce—such as fruits, grains, or livestock—into consumable or semi-finished products like flour, juice, or packaged meat. It helps reduce post-harvest losses, improve product shelf life, and increase the market value of farm outputs.

  • What types of products does EA. Aquaye Farms process?

    We process a range of farm products including cassava, maize, rice, vegetables, fruits, spices, and livestock products. These are transformed into flour, animal feed, juices, dried herbs, and preserved meat/fish for retail and wholesale markets.

  • What quality standards does your agro-processing facility follow?

    Our processing activities follow strict hygiene, food safety, and packaging standards, aligned with national and international best practices. We aim to ensure every product meets both local market requirements and global standards.

  • Is agro-processing only for food products?

    No. While food processing is a key focus, we also produce non-food products such as organic animal feed, compost from agricultural waste, and natural preservatives—helping us maximize resource efficiency.

  • Can young people or groups partner with EA. Aquaye Farms for value addition training?

    Absolutely! As part of our community empowerment goal, we offer training programs and workshops to youth groups, women-led cooperatives, and startups interested in agro-processing and value-added agribusiness.
