Mr. Seidu Yonye Appointed CEO of Ghana Produce Buying Company

President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Mr. Seidu Yonye as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Produce Buying Company (PBC).

Mr. Yonye, a seasoned entrepreneur and prominent figure in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) within the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa Constituency, replaces Mr. Derek Kwaku Nkansah, who assumed the role under former President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration in 2023.

Founded in 1981, PBC plays a critical role in Ghana’s cocoa sector, purchasing and marketing cocoa beans from thousands of farmers nationwide. Industry watchers are optimistic that Mr. Yonye’s business acumen and strong grassroots ties will inject new energy into the company’s operations.

Mr. Yonye is widely respected in his constituency not only for his business ventures but also for his longstanding support for local development projects and political advocacy.

As he steps into this high-stakes role, all eyes are on him to steer PBC toward renewed efficiency, profitability, and farmer-focused partnerships.
