We buy and sell for a living.
Latlink Enterprise is a trading company based in Ghana. We buy crops from farmers and sell them to companies that turn them into food and cosmetics. We also supply shops and distributors with everyday products people buy every week.

We buy straight from the farm
Most of what we sell starts with small farmers and women's collection groups, often far from any road worth the name.
We go to them. We buy on the spot. No brokers in the middle taking a cut and losing track of where things came from.
That way the farmer gets a fair price and comes back to us next season. And when a buyer asks which village their shipment came from, we can tell them.

We check everything before it leaves
Every batch gets looked at. We test how dry it is. We take out whatever is not good enough. We write down what came from where, batch by batch.
So if something is wrong, we know exactly which batch and which supplier. And if you need papers proving quality or origin, we have them ready.
Most buyers ask about this. Good. It means they have been burned before and they know what to look for.

We do the difficult part
Moving goods from a village to a factory takes more steps than people think. Bagging. Storage. Inspection. Certificates. Customs. Booking a ship. Every one of those can hold a shipment up for a week.
We handle all of it.
You place one order. You deal with one company. You get one invoice. When something goes wrong, you call us. Not five different people.

Tell us what you need
We work with food manufacturers, cosmetics companies, wholesalers and distributors, in Ghana and abroad.
Some want one container to see how it goes. Some need the same amount arriving every month so they can plan production. Both are fine.
Tell us what you want and how much. We will tell you straight what we can do, when it will arrive, and what it costs.

What we have been writing
Our 2035 ambitions
Three things we want to be true about this business in ten years. Each one changes how we buy, what we build, and who we sell to.
THE PEOPLE WHO GROW ITBuy from more farmers, and pay them better
- Buy from more communities every season, instead of returning to the same few.
- Pay at the collection point, in cash, at a price agreed before the season starts.
- Sign longer agreements so farmers can plan further ahead than one harvest.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXTDo more of the work here in Ghana
- Clean, press and pack at home rather than shipping raw and letting others add the value.
- Build storage near where crops are grown, so nothing spoils waiting for a truck.
- Hire and train locally for the skilled jobs that processing brings with it.
WHERE IT ENDS UPSell to more buyers, in more countries
- Meet the standards that open doors in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
- Hold enough supply that a buyer can order every month, not once a season.
- Be the first name people think of when they need something from West Africa.
