GIP Invests in Truecoco to Support Sustainable Agricultural Growth, Industrial Carbon Removal, and Local Community Development

Growth Investment Partners (GIP) Ghana LTD, an investment platform established by British International Investment (BII) the UK’ss development finance institution and impact investor, today announced its investment in Truecoco Ghana Limited (Truecoco), a local agricultural processing and exporting company located in the Western Region of Ghana.

This investment will help in expanding Truecoco’s soybean processing operations and launch a durable carbon capture biochar project, which will contribute to community development, environmental sustainability, and local economic growth.

GIP, a Ghanaian investment platform licensed by Ghana’s Security and Exchange Commission, provides long-term, flexible capital, predominantly in local currency, to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). GIP aims to bridge the financing gap for Ghanaian SMEs which are critical to promoting sustainable economic growth.

Truecoco Ghana Ltd. is a leading agricultural processing and trading company committed to responsible sourcing and sustainable business practices. Since its inception in 2017, the company has focused on the ethical procurement of raw materials, ensuring that the livelihoods of small-scale farmers are at the heart of its operations. By working directly with over 4,000 smallholder farmers in Ghana, Truecoco guarantees a sustainable and traceable supply chain while contributing to the socio-economic empowerment of local communities.

The investment will also fund the development of an industrial biochar carbon removal project. Biochar is a carbon-rich material made from pyrolysis of organic waste, including agricultural by-products, in a low-oxygen environment. It is used to improve soil health, retain moisture, and capture carbon from the atmosphere, contributing to sustainable agriculture and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Truecoco will source typically discarded coconut husks from surrounding farms and processing firms in surrounding areas and convert them to biochar. The project is aligned with Ghana’s ambitious climate target and aims to be the leading carbon removal technology project in the country. The biochar initiative will achieve six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, as well as provide additional revenue for smallholder farmers and reduce the cost of organic inputs for Ghanaian farmers.
