Yebitom Foods started with a simple but powerful belief — that every Ghanaian child deserves access to nutritious food made from the local grains we grow right here at home.
In 2009, while completing her national service in the Western North region of Ghana, Mavis Bura noticed something that broke her heart — too many children in rural communities were going to school without breakfast, and too many parents couldn't afford the imported cereals stocked in the shops.
She knew Ghana had everything we needed already growing in our soil. Millet, maize, rice, soyabeans, tigernut, coconut. Why were we importing breakfast from overseas?
So she went home, set up a small operation in Adjuah-Apowa, Takoradi, and started milling, blending and packing nutritious cereals using locally sourced grains. That was Yebitom Foods. And 15 years later, we're still doing the same thing — just with a few more products and a lot more love.
Our mission has always been the same: make affordable, nutritious Ghanaian cereals accessible to as many families as possible. We work with local farmers, support local supply chains, and reinvest in the communities around us.
Every pack of Yebitom you buy supports a Ghanaian farmer, a Ghanaian worker, and a Ghanaian family. We are proudly local — and proudly here to stay.
Over 50% of our factory runs on solar energy. We use solar dryers to dry our produce naturally — no artificial heat, no chemical treatments. Our packaging is eco-friendly and biodegradable wherever possible.
What's left over? We don't waste it. Our corn bran and millet bran are sold as animal feed to local farms — zero waste, full circle.
