What We Do.
01.
Egg Production
Adinkra Frontiers’ primary objective is to increase the nutritional content of our daily meals especially among children of school-going age and people living in highly populated urban centres with limited access to services. This is achieved through the consumption of food rich in proteins. Our freshly farmed high-quality eggs are rich in protein and Adinkra seeks to make this available and accessible to all. Adinkra works with women traders who supply eggs to open markets within Ashanti and Greater Accra regions of Ghana. Our Food vendor APP is meant is to fill the supply shortfalls in poor neighborhoods and ensure that anyone can at least afford an egg a week.

Farm fresh processed chicken
We are promoting the production and processing of broilers raised through organic farming practices in semi-intensive productive systems. Our birds are fed on organic feed and treated with natural preparations and there is no use of excessive antibiotics. Our semi-intensive production system means that our birds are allowed to roam freely on the farm. Having access to regular sunlight strengthens the bones and muscles thereby making our broilers have stronger legs unseen in conventional farming systems and their meat uniquely tasty & nutritious like African traditional birds raised at homes.
The business concept of Adinkra Frontiers is to develop an integrated and diversified poultry enterprise through the production of broilers and by adding modern processing facility to process all broilers for supply to high-end markets. Our processing is driven by our desire to promote the consumption of locally processed poultry products. Currently, only about 10% of poultry consumed in Ghana is produced locally. The gap is filled by imports. Adinkra intends to change this narrative and ensure that African’s consume what we grow and process. Our plan is to supply high-quality locally farmed organic processed chicken throughout Ghana and export the same to all West African countries.

Vertical integration of small holder farmers – Adinkra Grains
As a social enterprise, the business has developed vertical supply chain system to ensure smallholder farmers are integrated into a high-end market system. To ensure the business creates value to all the actors in the poultry value chain, the business develops a downstream industry with a structured grain outgrower scheme using digital technologies to integrate smallholder farmers into the lucrative poultry sector. Smallholder farmers growing Maize and Soyabeans are being supported with digital credit and technical assistance to produce all the maize requirements. We use mobile and web technologies powered by ESOKO (the Agritech pioneering firm). We use Esoko’s technology to undertake the following services:
- Digitize the entire value chain.
- Payments for grain purchases using mobile money wallets
- Track Input supply and distribution
- Post-harvest terminal facilities for cleaning, drying, and bagging of maize and soya
- Providing Technical assistance and training on Good Agricultural
- Practices using the Yield, post-harvest & marketing (YiPoMa) training model.
Ag value chain digitization to improve efficiency and reduce cost

Biotechnology and Adinkra AI powered Food Vendor App
Adinkra Circular Economic Model: Biotechnology for nutrient recycling
Domestic production of poultry in many African countries is currently at 10% of total consumption and the gap is filled by imports. For instance, Ghana’s annuals import bill of poultry products averages some USD350Million. This trend is projected to increase with increasing population growth, urbanization, and fast-food joints across major cities in Africa. The poultry sector in many African countries has therefore been non-competitive due to the high cost of raw materials needed to formulate the poultry feed. Adinkra, therefore, explores the power of biotechnology to produce alternative feed for our feed formulation.
Artificial Intelligence of product distribution
(Adinkra Food Vendor App)
Again, in terms of product distribution, the current domestic production of 10% still struggles to distribute the products to major urban centers due to poor infrastructure and logistical constraints. To ensure that our food reaches the urban poor in the most efficient way, Adinkra is also developing a food vendor app that is powered by Artificial Intelligence that gathers real-time data from urban population centers to optimize food distribution and logistical arrangements.
