This is a major arm of the Intercontinental Group focused on supplying fertilizers to major distributors, retailers and farmers across all regions in Ghana.

We are actively involved in the Government Flagship program, Planting for Food and Jobs and have distributed over 8000 MT of fertilizers since its inception. Our products include:

NPK
To grow beneficial and productive crops, ICGGL has a variety of compound fertilizers in the form of NPK, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium for farmers. In addition to these major elements which provide the main source of nutrients to crops when it is added to the soil, other minor or trace elements have been added to this formulation of NPK to boost its performance on crop yield. These trace elements which give crops additional nutrition are Sulphur(S), Magnesium Oxide (MgO), Zinc (Zn) and Boron(B).

High quality fertilizer in a complex formulation is provided in the market by ICGGL for farmers. Different formulations such as 11-22-21+5S+0.7Zn+0.5B, 23-10-05+2MgO+3S+0.3Zn etc are available at Intercontinental Group Gh Ltd for a wide range of crops Other Formulations include;

NPK 15-15-15 NPK 21-11-22 NPK 20-10-10 NPK 23-10-5 NPK 15-20-20

UREA
Nitrogen is considered the most important primary nutrient for both plants and animals as it is the main source of protein, and protein makes up much of the Tissues of living organisms. Urea contains 46% of Nitrogen element and is therefore considered the most important source of plant nitrogen usually added in the soil to balance the nitrogen requirement of crops.

It is also sometimes added to animal feed to provide balance for nitrogen requirements. ICGGL provides standard Urea for Ghanaian farmers.

SOYBEAN
Soybean production has become a commercial crop production in the Guinea Savanna and Sudan Savannah Agro-Ecological Zones, meanwhile current production is done mostly by small scale farmers.

IGGL offers assistance to small scale farming and outgrower schemes to enhance soybean production in the rural areas. The company is engaged in contract farming with farmers especially women and youth; and medium scale farmers with mechanization services-ploughing and threshing services and assist them with quality and high yielding seeds.

After the harvest they pay back the ploughing, threshing and the seed cost to the company then buys all the remaining produce from the harvest at an agreed price.

SHEANUT
Sheanut scientifically called Vitellaria paradoxa, is commonly referred to as shea tree. The tree is the only species in the genus Vitellaria. It is a traditional African food plant with a potential of boosting food supply in the lean season with its fruits, improving rural development and nutrition.

The shea tree bears fruits which mature between 4-6months. A shea tree has the potential of producing 20-30kg of fresh fruits which is equivalent to 10-12kg of dry seeds.

Sheanut trees grow naturally in the wild in the dry savannah zone of West and South Africa. The fruits ripe and fall from the tree. The nuts are then picked or gathered from the wild mostly by women. Sheabutter or oil is extracted from the sheanuts.

IGGL has positioned itself as a major buyer of sheanuts from the West African Region for processing locally into shea butter and for export. The company purchases directly from the rural areas of the production regions of Ghana and neighboring West African countries and from local aggregators as a major buyer.
