Orange Growers Association. Thinkorange.

The Orange Growers Association brings Ghana’s orange farmers together for a new era of orange production, value addition and sustainable livelihoods.

Cashew, shea, mango and rubber growers each had an association. Orange growers had none. OGA was founded in 2020 to fill that gap.

It works to improve how Ghana’s oranges are grown and sold, so that the value chain becomes more competitive, profitable and accessible. It opened an Ashanti Region chapter in May 2024, and since August 2024 it has worked from its own head office in Akyem Oda, Eastern Region.
