Over the years, there has been growing awareness in Ghana, of the health benefits of eating fresh organic agricultural produce, and consuming processed organic food products.
It is a healthy-lifestyle awareness transformation in society that is to be applauded.
The problem, however, for many would-be buyers of organic agricultural produce, and consumers of processed organic food products, is to locate retail outlets where they can be purchased.
Perhaps some of the leading organisations in Ghana, which champion the production and consumption of wholesome food in Ghana, such as Food Sovereignty Ghana, can help in that direction - by publicising outlets in Ghana for the sale of organic agricultural produce that they are aware of.
In that regard, one looks forward to the day when the planned Ghana4Agroecology platform finally comes into being.
As this blog's widow's mite contribution to the awareness-creation effort, the contact details of a few outlets for organic agricultural produce in Ghana, which they can patronise, is published below, for the benefit of the consuming public.
For those hotels and restaurants that provide their clients with fresh-pressed orange juice, and would prefer to use organic oranges they purchase themselves, BioTropic Farms, has just set up a sales outlet in the Gallilea market, which is on the left side just off the Mallam-Kasoa highway, after the Brigade area, as one heads towards Kasoa from the toll booth.
Individuals, hotels, restaurants and other buyers interested in purchasing BioTropic Farms' organic oranges, can speak to a BioTropic Farms representative by telephone on: 0202533013.
And those who are keen to buy any of the following organic products: organic baobab powder; organic baobab seed oil; organic moringa leaf powder; organic moringa seeds and organic shea butter, can contact a representative of Cynbeth, which works with women's groups in the north, by telephone on: 0209420005.
A weekly pop-up market is held in Cape Coast on Fridays, opposite the Adisadel College post office, where some organic farmers go to sell their produce.
It is worth patronising - and could be the perfect excuse for a fun-filled family weekend trip to Cape Coast, to stock up on fresh organic fruits and vegetables, and also visit some of the tourist sites in Elmina and Cape Coast, for adventure-loving and health-conscious families that live in Accra, Takoradi and Kumasi.
