Usibras Ghana Limited is a major cashew processing and export company operating in Ghana’s agro‑industrial sector. It is the Ghanaian subsidiary of Usibras, a global cashew processor with roots in Brazil and operations in multiple countries. The company’s presence in Ghana — historically one of the largest cashew processors in the country — has been central to value‑added cashew production, processing raw cashew nuts into marketable kernels for export to Europe, the United States, Asia, and other global destinations.

Usibras Ghana’s processing facility, located near Prampram in the Greater Accra Region, has an installed capacity of approximately 35,000 metric tonnes per year of raw cashew nut processing, although challenges in securing sufficient raw material supply have affected utilization levels in recent years.

The company’s operations support local cashew farmers by offering a market for their produce, while its processed cashew kernels generate foreign exchange earnings and contribute to Ghana’s non‑traditional export performance. Usibras also provides employment opportunities — historically numbering in the low hundreds — and engages local service providers, linking Ghana’s agricultural sector with international trade networks.

In recent times, Usibras Ghana Limited has faced significant operational challenges, including shortages of raw cashew nuts, rising utility costs, and unfavourable export tariffs — factors that have constrained production and prompted discussions about possible relocation of operations to neighbouring countries with more stable raw material supply. Such developments highlight broader structural issues in Ghana’s cashew processing industry and have prompted calls for policy and sectoral support to sustain local value addition.
