Farm assurance, made practical
We help African producers and exporters build workable compliance systems, close audit gaps, and prepare confidently for certification.
What we do
From first assessment to final audit preparation, ACA gives farm teams practical systems they can understand, maintain, and demonstrate.
Digital compliance toolkit
A suite of self-contained applications we've built for real audits — every one works offline, exports print-accurate PDFs, and captures signatures.

Africa-rooted expertise
Based in Accra, Ghana, ACA supports fruit and vegetable producers, agri-exporters, cooperatives, agribusinesses, and development partners across West Africa — combining hands-on agronomy with purpose-built compliance systems.
Case study
SGA Farms set out to become export-ready. Working on-farm, ACA ran a full gap assessment, built the documentation and food-safety systems, trained the team, and prepared them through the audit — achieving GLOBALG.A.P. certification on the first attempt, with systems the team still runs day to day.
Client outcome
They understood our local context — and we certified on the first attempt.
