Comment on negotiation status | Integrated Tamale Fruit Company (ITFC) was incorporated in 1999 under Ghana Company code of 1963 (Act 179). | |
Comment on contract farming | In clusters of 20 acres. Limited to 120 outgrowers only.
Currently ITFC has 1,200 outgrowers over 1,200acres (500hectares) of land (i.e. 100 mango trees/acre/outgrower farmer). The company initially targeted 2000 outgrowers but realised that output fell below expectations and hence it suspended expansion in order to address low yields.
As part of their investments into the outgrower schemes, ITFC Ltd reserved the sole right to supply mango seedlings, water, water storage tanks, manure, tools and other technical support to outgrowers, and to be sole purchasers of their proceeds until the cost of production was fully recovered. Under the outgrower scheme, ITFC Ltd fully pre-finances the cost of mango planting and management until the third or fifth year when it may be possible to commence harvesting and sale. | There are outgrower farms for Tunayili community
