The Ofie Market returned for its 5th edition this past weekend with even more energy, color, and community spirit! Held at the heart of Akuapem North, this signature marketplace continues to grow as a vibrant platform for empowering local businesses and creating meaningful economic opportunities.

The 5th edition brought together a diverse range of vendors, from food producers to local farmers. Attendees had the opportunity to shop for authentic Ghanaian goods, network with small business owners, and enjoy the infectious rhythms of live traditional music that kept spirits high throughout the day.

What Makes Ofie Market Special?

“Ofie” means “home” in Akan, and true to its name, Ofie Market is a homegrown initiative designed to bring visibility to local SMEs, create jobs, and champion women and youth led enterprises in our community.

This edition also featured a mini-exhibition for emerging youth entrepreneurs and student startups,

One participant shared:
“Ofie Market has become a lifeline for my small soap business. I’ve gained loyal customers and even connected with suppliers I never knew existed.”

Another first-time attendee commented:
“The atmosphere was amazing safe, lively, and full of beautiful people and products. I’ll definitely be back!”

This journey wouldn’t be possible without our tireless team, partners, and the everyday people who show up with their support, one purchase at a time.
