The story behind Demeter Côte d'Ivoire.
Founded in 2014 with a strategy to combat the problems faced by farmers in Côte d'Ivoire, Demeter Côte d'Ivoire has grown to be one of the primary agricultural inputs and services providers in Côte d'Ivoire.
Our mission is to help farmers grow more with less.
Quality outcomes start with the right inputs meeting the right needs. Beginning with our in-house soil testing services, we recommend the precise nutrient levels needed by farmers to achieve maximum productivity and profitability. Our range of high quality inputs ensure farmers can deliver these nutrients to their crops.
“Demeter’s success is down to its ability to deliver the highest quality products, at the right price, directly to the farmers that need them. ”

We started to support Côte d'Ivoire farmers in 2014.
Demeter was founded in 2014 with a strategy to combat the problems faced by farmers in Côte d'Ivoire. We have grown to be one of the primary agricultural inputs and services providers in Côte d'Ivoire. Now equipped with a state-of-the-art soil testing lab, we are dedicated to providing enabling farmers to increase their productivity and profitability.
With an initial remit to tackle inefficiencies arising from poor soil fertility, erosion and particularly soil acidity, we began by distributing soil acidity stabilisers, as soil is the most important driver of plant health, and crop yield. As we deepened our roots in the sector, we started distributing fertiliser to cater to crop nutrition as well as soil health.
Since 2014, our product list has expanded to include a broad range of mainstream and specialist agricultural inputs designed to make farming in West Africa more diverse and more efficient and are currently the sole suppliers of inoculants, soil neutralisers, soil testing services, specialist sulphate products, and many more unique and mainstream products. Demeter’s major customers include the Ghanaian Ministry of Food and Agriculture and Cocobod, the second largest global cocoa producer, as well as commercial farms across West Africa. Through supplying Ghana’s Planting for Food and Jobs programme, we are proud to say that our products and services direct impact the lives of over 200,000 farmers in Ghana alone each year.
DGL has a core team of 25 people in Accra and is supported by the Demeter Holdings Ltd office in London ensuring we are able to bring the best of the international markets to the Côte d'Ivoire agricultural sector, and in turn re-export quality Côte d'Ivoire produce back to the world.
