Main Entities
Our Company was incorporated in 1960 as Ghana
Milk Company by a group of Scandinavian inves-
tors basically to produce milk to compliment the
protein requirements of the Ghanaian. The main
product of the Company at incorporation was
pasteurized milk. In 1962 the Company under-
went two significant changes. Firstly its name was
changed to Fan Milk Limited, and secondly the
product portfolio was widened with the change of
name to include ice cream, yoghurt and ice lollies.
Fan Milk Limited became the first Foreign Com-
pany to become Public Limited Liability in 1967
and again among the first Companies to be listed
on the Ghana Stock Exchange in 1990. The com-
pany had over 3,250 shareholders as at the end
of the year 2003, and the number is still growing.
The company currently provides direct employment
to over 330 individuals and indirect employment to
a further 8,000 people. Their HQ is located at no.
1 Dadeban Road in the northern industrial area of
Accra. However, there is a further presence nation-
wide in strategically located distribution outlets so
that products are readily available to the people of
Ghana.

Ghana Agro Food Company Limited - GAFCO is a
leading company in Tuna canning, wheat milling;
feed milling and fishmeal production; agro feeds and
veterinary drugs in Ghana.
The mother company of GAFCO Industrie-Bau Nord
AG (IBN), conceived a new design for integrated ag-
ricultural processing complexes in developing coun-
tries in the late 1950’s.
This integrated strategy was illustrated in the engi-
neering designs and feasibility studies prepared in
1962 for a “Tema Food Complex” in Ghana: The
complex was designed to integrate several agricul-
tural processing facilities.
The plans necessitated that a wheat mill, an oil mill,
a cocoa plant and an animal feed mill be housed
• Investment opportunity also exists in the
storage
industry.
Inadequate and inappropriate storage
facilities are constraints to agricultural production
thereby contributing to high post-harvest losses and
low returns for farmers and processors.
