Actually, the company applied for the Skill Development Fund (SDF) in 2011 according to the Daily Graphic, (May 3, 2014). With a grant of 247920.00 Ghana cedis, the company increased its export capacity to 80,000 tonnes by the close of 2013.

Comment
The farm is in the Nsawam area. The office of the company is located in Pokuase, approximately fortykilometers from the farm. Spatial data derived from the Mapathon 2020 and JRC is not necessarily that of Gold Coast Fruits as there are many pineapple farmers active in the area. The shapefiles do not correspond with the small size in operation found during the field visit as part of the Ghana Data Campaign in 2020.
