Transpurple Ghana Limited (TPGL) is a private agribusiness firm in the internal cocoa and cashew marketing industry with a strong social development focus and provides a competitive and ready market to smallholder cocoa farmers.

Sustainable Cocoa Marketing Services

Transpurple is renowned for an efficient and sustainable approach to competitive internal cocoa and cashew marketing services. We supply quality dry cocoa beans and cashew nuts along the value chain, from farm-gate to ready & guaranteed markets. We provide competitive cocoa market service by purchasing good-quality dry cocoa beans from smallholder farmers organized into district societies through effective methods and controlled systems.

We are a working solution and not just business-centric, but also acceptable to standard.

Our model aims at sustainable ready market for cocoa farmers through guaranteed internal and external marketing systems, economic & social impact approach and environmentally friendly training. We establish cocoa purchasing and marketing channels across the western south, Ashanti, Eastern and Central regions of Ghana to ensure prompt supply and haulage to ports for onward take over. We are committed to quality and efficient marketing services coupled with farmer- trust.

Our vision is of an E&S impact through competitive marketing service, environmentally positive, quality-focused cocoa supply chain comprised of smallholder farmers who are earning a living income but lack a competitive market. Our goals are to alleviate poverty and zero hunger among the rural farming communities through productivity enhancement. We establish a collaborative relationship with stakeholders for active performance throughout the supply chain.

Our History

Three family members (Patrick, Cecilia, and Dede), who are highly passionate about comparative opportunities and the cocoa sector adjustment reforms under the Agriculture Sector Adjustment Programme, shared a vision to take advantage of the reforms by introducing innovation, value addition and competition in the internal cocoa value chain. The tally trio recognized the urgency to address the rural farmers’ concerns of lack of competitive market for cocoa products as well as creating E&S impact on the poor farming communities in Ghana.

As a result of a collective passion for growing the internal cocoa market through competition and innovation, Transpurple was born.

Over the past years, we have been instrumental in the commodity service market delivery, especially in cocoa and cashew. We collaborate with stakeholders to achieve excellence in delivery. In 2018, our team of experts arranged the government’s subsidized fertilizer input supply deal for our registered farmers with flexible terms. Over 950 farmers benefited from this deal, and this has improved cocoa yield among the farmers.

The productivity enhancement progragrame with PEG is on dialogue. We aim to establish a deal by the end of 2021 with PEG to the benefit of cocoa farmers.

Our work process focuses on a wide range of issues, including zero hunger for rural farmers by providing a ready market for cocoa farmers, alleviating poverty through job creation in the cocoa sector, child labour issues, land protection against illegal mining (galamsey), campaign against water bodies pollution.
