Beyond products, we support partners with trade advisory, financing and value chain development ensuring every shipment creates lasting value.


A Legacy Rooted in Leadership
Our story is built on the Yakubu-Tali family’s heritage of service and leadership in Ghana. From public service to nation-building, this legacy continues to inspire JP Yata’s role in connecting West African commodities with the world. A lasting symbol of this heritage is the renaming of Tamale’s airport to Yakubu-Tali International Airport in honor of our grandfather’s leadership.

At J.P. Yata, our business model connects African producers with global buyers through a fully integrated approach - from sourcing and processing at origin to structuring trade and ensuring sustainable impact.
