Cashews are nuts with a great taste and abundance of essential nutrients. The health benefits of cashews are incredible. They are a good source of healthy dietary fats, which are essential for our body to absorb the fat-soluble essential vitamins. They are good for the heart and help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) if consumed in appropriate amounts.
Sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) are grown primarily for their oil content. Sesame seeds are used for toppings on bakery products such as bread, buns, hamburgers and confectionery. Sesame seeds are also used in food from various cuisines products like tahini and hummus, sushi and Eastern dessert.

They offer the most nutritional value when the entire seed is used (un-hulled).
Responsible Sourcing
Our multiple sourcing capabilities - from the network of farming communities enable us to offer our customers year-round uninterrupted supply of high-quality ingredients. Our responsible sourcing helps us to know where all our ingredients are coming from.
Raw Cashew Nuts
SOURCING
Every year the world consumes over 600,000 metric tons of cashew and about 57% of the world’s cashew come from sub-Saharan Africa?
We source our cashew Nuts from local communities in Northern Ghana where we have established long term relationships with expert large and small-holder growers. We harvest a sizeable volume of nuts from our own plantations. We do not process cashew nuts. The nuts (Raw Cashew Nuts in-shell) are selected and dried and exported to cashew processing plants worldwide.
Sesame Seeds
SOURCING
FFP’s competitive edge lies in the supply chain management of Sesame Seeds. We source our seeds from small holder growers belonging to a network of farming communities in the Northern Regions of Ghana and we export them to the Middle East, Asia and other countries. Large scale commercialization of sesame in Ghana is modest as compared to other West African origins, however, with our excellent organizational capabilities, we have already built a strong presence in the growing areas and have become a major player in the three Northern Regions of Ghana.
Together with our partners, we are actively coordinating the development of a commercialized sesame industry in the arid regions, based on sustainability and traceability. And our partners provide support throughout the season to maximize yield and secure product quality.
