What we do
J.P. Yata is a family-owned agribusiness and commodity trading company. We connect West Africa’s agricultural excellence with global markets.

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.
Our Business Model
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.
