About PBC

Introduction

The Cocoa Industry has been the backbone of the Ghanaian Economy through its contribution to the economy of the country in terms of foreign exchange earnings, Government revenues, employment creation and poverty alleviation/reduction and extension of development projects and social services to farmers.

Exports account for 30% of the Country’s GDP with Agriculture contributing around 40% of export earnings. Cocoa is the largest contributor to these earnings providing up to 75% of it. Cocoa offers direct employment (farmers, farm labourers, etc) to over Two (2) million people and indirect employment (Support to the Industry) of beyond Three (3) million.

Ghana remains the world’s second largest producer of cocoa with the best quality which earns a premium price from its sale on the international market.

PBC Limited originally exists as a Licensed Buying Company (LBC) which partakes in the Internal Marketing of Cocoa as its core business among other auxiliary businesses to complement its revenue stream. PBC Limited has over the years operated in an environment of stiff competition with other Licensed Buying Companies for cocoa from farmers.

The Company however has remained the highest cocoa purchaser for COCOBOD among the other LBCs with a market share of about 31%.

The Company since its listing on the Ghana Stock Exchange has chalked many successes and steadily has developed to be a major player in the Cocoa Industry showing tremendous growth in all aspects of its core business activities.

As part of its strategy to maintain and improve on our share of the market with regards to cocoa purchases, PBC Ltd. has established alliances with some International Cocoa Trading Companies to roll out schemes that will increase the yield and acreage of farmers and also improve on their livelihoods.

There is therefore the deliberate effort by Management of PBC Ltd. to ensure the Company meets the expectations of its customers by tailoring our operational activities in a manner to develop and maintain the trust between the farmer and the company. The outcome of which will be the satisfaction transcended to all stake holders in the line of the Company’s engagements.

Projecting into the future consequently exhumes the potential for much excellence and corporate advancement.
