Barry Callebaut Ghana Limited is the Ghanaian arm of the Barry Callebaut Group, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products. The parent company, Barry Callebaut AG, was formed in 1996 through the merger of the Belgian chocolatier Callebaut and French cocoa specialist Cacao Barry and has become a global leader in cocoa processing and chocolate production with a history spanning over 175 years.

Based in Tema, Greater Accra Region, Ghana, Barry Callebaut Ghana plays a strategic role in the Group’s global cocoa supply chain by sourcing, processing, and exporting cocoa products. The company’s operations focus on leveraging Ghana’s status as one of the world’s largest cocoa producers, working closely with local farmer cooperatives to procure high-quality cocoa beans and contribute to value addition within the Ghanaian cocoa sector.

Barry Callebaut Ghana’s contribution extends beyond industrial processing; it supports sustainable cocoa farming and community development initiatives in partnership with stakeholders such as the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD). These collaborations aim to improve farm productivity, diversify income sources for farmers, and address social challenges like child labor in cocoa farming communities.

As part of Barry Callebaut’s Forever Chocolate sustainability strategy, the Ghana operations participate in innovations that strengthen environmental stewardship, promote traceability, and enhance socio-economic outcomes for cocoa-producing communities.

Through its integration into a global network of processing facilities and its strong local presence, Barry Callebaut Ghana Limited continues to be a key link between Ghana’s rich cocoa heritage and the world’s dynamic chocolate and cocoa industries.
