The bag changes hands five times before it reaches you. We cut it to two.
Velamon Trade buys food commodities — grains, beans, fonio, cooking oil, and more — directly from farmers and hubs, and sells straight to vendors, chop bars, schools, and hospitals who buy by the bag, not the cup.
Ghana produces enough food. The chain is what makes it expensive. A bag can change hands as many as five times before it reaches the person actually using it — and every hand adds a markup. The farmer who did the hardest work earns the least. The vendor who buys last pays the most.
Velamon Trade exists to close that gap — buying directly from farmers and major hubs, storing it properly, and selling it on, without the extra hands in between.
