Woatome was established in 2019 to strengthen the value chain of Ghana’s resources through a model of structured, transparent, and ethical trade. From its inception, Woatome has operated with a dual impact agenda: enabling producing communities to thrive while providing global partners with direct access to quality, responsibly sourced naturals.

As a transnational business, Woatome operates with physical presence in both Ghana and the United States, ensuring alignment with producing communities at the source and markets abroad. This dual structure is reinforced by the founders themselves: one an American citizen residing in Ghana, and the other a Ghanaian citizen residing in the United States. Together, they embody the bridge between continents, creating trust, visibility, and accountability.

Empowering Producing Communities

Woatome equips farmer cooperatives and producer groups with:

Digital tools for traceability, quality assurance, and communication.

Continual education and agritech adoption to increase yield, efficiency, and compliance with export standards.

Export readiness support, including phytosanitary compliance, certification pathways, and structured logistics.

Micro-innovations and circular cocoa enterprise, creating new value streams and strengthening local economies.

Through these initiatives, producers gain the capacity to compete fairly in global markets while cultivating community wealth and resilience.

Enabling Global Trade Partners

For international traders, manufacturers, and buyers, Woatome provides:

Direct and ethical sourcing of primary and semi-processed commodities.

Structured trade systems that reduce risk, improve transparency, and ensure consistency.

Competitive and fair pricing aligned with global benchmarks.

A trusted cultural and operational bridge, simplifying engagement with producing regions.

Our position as a transnational, supply chain–driven business means we can deliver consistent quality and compliance while maintaining strong accountability at origin. With recognized registrations—including a DUNS number, NCAGE, and CAGE codes—Woatome is equipped to serve as a reliable partner in international trade.

A Circular Model of Shared Prosperity

Woatome’s model closes the loop between production and consumption. Circular innovation ensures that resources are not only exported but also reinvested into local enterprise, youth engagement, and community development.

Our connection to global markets, including Chicagoland, highlights how cocoa nibs from Ghana can generate entrepreneurship, culinary innovation, and economic opportunity abroad—while reinforcing prosperity at the source.

MICRO INNOVATIONS

Leveraging Modern Technologies, Alternative Pathways, Creative Arts & Will to add value for the West African Farmer

AND BEYOND

Woatome International is a "BEFORE PROFIT" organization with the aim of leveraging modern technologies and strategies to bring value to the agricultural, art, and micro-innovations segment of West African communities. This is a strategic initiative by the Musa Cultural and Heritage Group located in the United States of America.

Fundamentally, Woatome USA and Woatome Ghana is making an attempt to introduce micro solutions to the cocoa crises the world is just taking note of. Operational as a licensed export company, our strategy lies in curating products that we believe will be highly appreciated in foreign markets.

Revenue generated from such sales funds our technological innovation attempts for West African farmers especially

Our process begins with the community of artisans, innovators, farmers, and local craft makers who are the resources that Woatome has networked and partnered with; as an intermediary to ignite their products to an excited market.

This means we fund the production by purchasing raw materials needed by the artisans, who then produce our products to our specifications of very high standards for an inflated fair trade work pay.

We therefore engage in training and infusing state-of-the-art mindedness to the artisans. This ensures that our curated products exceed the competitor value in the market.

Our founders bring in from the United States market, two decades of corporate industry experiences, high academia, software and technological knowledge, supply chain management, data and predictive analytics, enterprise resource planning, creative art, operations and sales savviness into this model.

Our end goal is to leverage these resources to tackle environmental damages to forests.

Most of these lands are traditionally designed for cocoa production, but gold miners successfully lure cocoa farmers to sacrifice their lands for a meager figure.

This is possible because of low yield which can strongly be attributed to poor and lack of prompt support for farmers.

Our technological solutions provides a central resource, advisory, training, and help center remotely accessible by farmers 24/7.

Our strategic partnership is coined with one intention: to curate ethically sourced agricultural products from Ghana to share with the world.
