Kitchen Hut Foods

Barbara Mantey, CEO of Kitchen Hut Foods, has come a long way with her business, which started as a conversation in a living room and an experiment in her kitchen space.

She walks us through her journey from the corporate world and how she veered into the food manufacturing industry, the gains, lessons and thrilling moments all on Q&A with William this week.

Tell me about yourself and how Kitchen Hut fully started?

A: My name is Barbara Mantey, a product of Saint Roses and the University of Ghana, Legon, where I studied Sociology and Economics. After school, I went into the corporate world, I did a bit of corporate banking, and also worked with the telecommunications sector. After a while, I was out of the corporate system. I did a bit of beauty before I went into food manufacturing in 2016 when I had my son.

How did Kitchen Hut really start?

A: In 2016 when I had my son, I happened to have moved to my mom’s place as a young mother to receive some care before I move back home. When I was ready to go back home with my husband, my mom said “If you want to go back early to your own home, then make sure you eat well”. Palm nut is one of the dishes you’re ascribed to eat as a breastfeeding mother. Making palm nut soup is so tedious and I didn’t like the taste of the ones on the market. So I decided to let my mom prepare it freshly for me, and store in the fridge till when I need it.  That’s how it started. The idea was to take away the stress people go through just to make one meal. We tried it also on a few friends at church and they all loved it.

When did the business fully start?

A: We had the discussion in 2016 and within a few months we had registered the business, Kitchen Hut Foods, and the following year, we decided to get our FDA certification. So within a year, Ez Palm-nut was on the market and sales began to move at a faster rate so it sort of encouraged us to do more, looking at the quality of product and feedback we got from people. Amazingly, people would take a picture, post it on social media, and tag me or give a review about it. So you preorder, pay, and have it delivered to you.

How difficult was it getting FDA’s certification?

A: Well, I’d say half and half. If you know what to do and you are really determined to do the right thing, you wouldn’t have any difficulties with the Ghana Standard Board and FDA.

At what point did you decide to fully take the business a notch higher?

A: For me, I always say that once I put my name on something it has to be good. So from the very onset taking it to friends at church, I was very critical about it. It is just some type of credibility that i always attach to anything that has my name on it.

How did you come by the name?

I woke up one morning and I said I think Kitchen Hut, will do. That is the name I’m going to use. I am really good at playing with words so I didn’t find any difficulty in getting the name.

What was the reaction like when you first made your product?

Advertisement

A: One of the things that have made this product very successful is that it’s from our raw material and we do not compromise on that. So the palm kennel that we source has to be fresh. So from the farmers straight to our production facility, which gives you a great taste and quality that will eventually give you that authentic Ghana, palm nut soup.

As a small business, where were you sourcing your products from when you started?

A: Initially, in the first few months it was in the market so I have a few ‘customers’ I regularly buy from but within a few months when the demand started growing, I had to start looking outside of the open market because they weren’t able to meet the demand.

How were you able to reach out to the farmers in order to meet demands?

A: If it must be done, it must be done well. I didn’t know anybody; we set out region by region based on recommendations looking at where they cultivate a lot of palm fruits. Even that in itself wasn’t easy but we had to, just because we wanted the best for ourselves and also our customers.

What kind of products do you have?

A: We have EZ Palmnut Extract, Ez Palm Oil, Mixed Spice, Suya Spice, BBQ Spice, Peanut butter, and Green chili sauce. Also, we have the Kelewele mix, Ginger paste, Crunchy Treats (Chin chin, Flour Chips, Coated peanuts & Roasted peanut) neatly packaged.

There’s a perception out there that made in Ghana products are of inferior quality. Is that the case?

A: That perception is totally false, I know that there are few people that have made this statement somewhat true because of some products on the market but currently, there are a lot of young entrepreneurs producing amazing made in Ghana products… from food to cosmetics to footwear… just name it and we’re meeting all standards. Except for those that are not certified, but if the Food and Drugs Authority certify you, you have no business going mess because there are regular checks that are done on you. I think it behooves the public to check if the product they’re buying is certified.

What inspires you to do what you do?

Advertisement

A: For me, I can’t do anything and just put out there. I don’t know what I’ll probably produce tomorrow but if I add on to my product line, it will still be of good quality and healthy.

How difficult or easy was it having your product penetrate the market as a startup?

A: It was quite difficult in the sense that when we wanted to look into the retail space, they will tell you there’s no storage for you. Yet this is a fresh product we were producing in every two (2) weeks. That was a challenge because there were actually certain places I had to buy my own freezers if the shop had space in order to have my product in there… so that’s how we started and now we’re in over 20 retail shops.

How important is packaging for your business?

A: Uuhh, the packaging is everything and for the customer, it is one of the things they would even look at before they buy the product. So great packaging is everything and for me, it has really helped my business but for startups, it is all about money… But on a whole, the 21st-century entrepreneurs have taken packaging and branding a notch higher than it used to be. And I’m proud to say that all across the world, Ghanaians have found a way to have EZ palm nut even if it is just once. From Dubai to Germany, Canada, the US, UK, Islands you name it. People have managed to find ways to travel with our products. It is surprising.

How do you react to the overwhelming comments about your products?

A: You sit back and think about it, how a conversation that started from the living room, experimenting in the kitchen, and knowing FDA wouldn’t certify you in your kitchen therefore you have to clear your backroom to make way for production.  To receive great reviews is encouraging. We’re always humbled by such reviews and comments because it is not easy but God has been faithful and also we on our side have tried our maximum best to give out the best of quality. So we are humbled when we hear such reviews.

How did pricing affect your business?

A: Pricing is everything but you have to narrow it down to who your customer is. Sometimes the difficulty is, can we serve everybody? You’d want to bring it at a point where the product is accessible to everybody based on prices but what really goes into it makes it simply impossible. But in all, we try to make it affordable for everybody.

How much did you need as capital to start your business?

Advertisement

A: In the beginning, we started with 10, 000 cedis. And everything was so manual and although at the end we sort of wanted to take away the stress from the consumer, it was tedious. So after a few months, we had to look out for a few types of equipment and it cost us a bit, which obviously caused our productivity level to increase a bit.

With all this money, was it from your own pocket?

A: Everything we have done up to this point is from our personal savings. As a parent, it has taken quite a toll on us because there are kids involved, schooling, maintenance feeding, and all that but one day at a time, and God has been faithful.

How many people did you start with?  

A: I started with my mom and my cousin but later when it was becoming tedious I brought in two more workers but because of their engagements, my mom and cousin had to leave to continue their activities so currently, we are 5 in all

Advertisement

Do you believe that opportunities do exist in Ghana?   

A: Many! Many opportunities do exist but I find that people want others to come to “their rescue” too quickly. Whatever the idea is, you need to start. I’m bursting with so many ideas but I need to take it one at a time and make sure our growth is steady. So there are a lot of opportunities here in Ghana, but if you don’t start, how then do you move forward? Obviously, the Government can’t do it all, so in the absence of the Government’s intervention, you try something. I believe there are millions of ideas but how do we see these ideas and make them profitable? That becomes the problem.

What advice would you give to young people looking forward to starting a business

A: Right, I can’t emphasize this enough, start. The idea is in your mind, the next person doesn’t know. Write it on paper. As time goes on you will cancel out a few of them and you will see that what is left is what you are really passionate about and would want to do. Put some form of professionalism on it and keep doing it, and once you keep on, you will be noticed.

With all that you do, where do these ideas come from, and how do you put them together to produce what you do?

Advertisement

A: Well I must say that I am a very creative person. I don’t know where it came from but I’m a very creative person. From sewing to hair, makeup artistry, you know, I’m a very creative person and I say that if you have your quiet time, have some time and listen to the voice of God. Usually, we’ll keep asking God for stuff meanwhile we barely wait for God to speak to us when we speak to him therefore end up getting little responses than we should. Spend time with God and he will drop ideas to you… All you have to do is to write them in your diary.

You are a mother, a wife, and a businesswoman. How do you strike a perfect balance for all these?

A: Well, I would say it’s not a perfect balance, but there’s balance. We try to do our best each day at a time. Take each day at a time. Although those around me will not agree that I take each day at a time… hahaha because my mind is constantly running. But my family and husband have been very supportive of all of this.

Q: What should every starter, or entrepreneur start-up to know?

A: I think you must always believe we can make it and can also fail but failure shouldn’t be the end. Keep trying and always make sure to better yourself. When you fail at an attempt, re-strategize, and make sure you learn from these mistakes. That is the only way to grow stronger. When the cash is not flowing as expected, it shouldn’t demoralize you. Just keep up and it will pay off.

Q: What have been your tactics in marketing your business.

A: Errm I think social media is very good yet quite tricky especially for a platform like Instagram. But generally, social media and word of mouth have been helpful.

 

Thank you so much.

The Journey of Jackpot Games

Published

on

buffalo blitz playtech slot

Jackpot games have taken an interesting path from the mechanical clicks of fruit machines to the virtual worlds of VR slots. It is a transformation not only in technology but also in terms of gaming culture and player expectations. And it is such that expertise like 50Casino’s, which offers guidance about growth trajectory as well as future possibilities, will help us understand finer details about jackpot themes.

 

The Era of Fruit Machines

 

Jackpot themes came into being from humble beginnings, evolving from simple fruit machines that were placed at local pubs and gaming halls. These are just some of the many different types of slot machines available online today, and they all function the same way. Moreover, their creation was a simple affair, while playing them was even simpler to win; players just had to match three like symbols.

The fruit machine era set the ground for the diverse world of gaming as we know it today. This led to prizes whose sizes would certainly be described as meager nowadays, paving the way for more advanced, lucrative options in the future. The legacy left by these fruits is one that has persevered until now, meaning easy accessibility and having fun directly belong to this sector.

 

The Digital Revolution and Online Slots

 

Online platforms brought new life to these themes through the internet and digital technology switches, ushering in an entirely new era. Transitioning from physical cabinets to online interfaces revolutionized how players could experience the best options in the slot market, allowing unprecedented levels of creativity and innovation. Themed machines started appearing where players could find themselves in Ancient Egypt, outer space, mythical lands, or just anywhere else imaginable, going around spinning reels but rather creating stories with narratives and engaging characters that became even more famous than the game itself.

They also brought in various features. Free spins, bonus rounds, multipliers and wild symbols made the game more vibrant, dynamic and potentially more profitable. Progressive jackpots were introduced, raising stakes by offering sums that can be life-changing, amounting to single-spin wins. This marked a period of unprecedented juxtaposition of gambling with technology, making every player’s experience both new and amazing.

 

Venturing into Virtual Reality 

 

The future of jackpot themes is in virtual reality games, which would be all about moving from playing to experiencing them. VR technologies are set to remove boundaries between players and their gaming environment, leading to a truly immersive experience. One could enter very detailed casino settings or other game-related worlds where switches felt tangible when you pulled levers or pressed buttons. The sensory feedback delivered through advanced graphics and soundscapes makes the gaming experience highly involving.

To this point, VR reels represent the farthest jackpot games that have evolved up to now. Consequently, they don’t only offer opportunities for winning but also, at least, provide rich environments that appeal to a wide range of senses. Although yet to be fully adopted by the majority, this development has to comply with regulatory bodies to be included in the list of licensed casino operators.

 

Tracking the Change of Jackpot Slots

 

The development of these games, from fruit machines to VR slots, exemplifies human ingenuity and a relentless quest for entertainment. Every stage of this evolution has opened up new perspectives as far as mechanics and overall experience are concerned. The simplicity of fruit machines, creativity in online slots, and immersion in virtual reality all contribute to the story.

Looking forward, technology and imagination limit the future of such games, making them practically boundless. However, as technology progresses, players can expect even more immersive, interactive and ground-breaking games. The concept behind fruit machines’ appeal—the thrill of possibly winning—has always been integral to its core, and remains so as we proceed into uncharted territories.

U.S. Economy: Domestic and Global Influences

Published

on

US economy

The state of the US economy is influenced by multiple domestic and international factors, including:

  • foreign debt;
  • dollar strength;
  • social stability;
  • global relations;
  • geopolitical tensions;
  • trade dynamics with China;
  • Europe’s economic health;
  • performance of major corporations;
  • political environment. 

Let’s examine them closer.

 

One major concern is the growing US foreign debt, which, while initially demonstrating confidence in the economy (and its ability to meet obligations), can eventually affect borrowing costs and creditor confidence. The performance of the US dollar index, which reflects the dollar’s value against a basket of foreign currencies, impacts US export opportunities and trade imbalances. 

pastedGraphic.png

Social issues like labor market instability, income inequality, and healthcare access can hinder economic growth and fuel political discontent. US international relations, including trade negotiations and conflicts, sanctions, and military interventions, directly impact the economy. For instance, instability in energy supplies due to conflicts in regions like the Middle East and Ukraine can influence global oil and gas prices.

China stands as one of the United States’ most significant trading allies. Trade balances, tariffs, and concerns over intellectual property rights between these nations carry both risks and potential benefits for the American economy. The state of affairs in Europe is equally critical, given the European Union’s status as another vital trading partner and a significant source of investment for the United States.

In addition, US elections consistently influence economic policy. Alterations in taxation, government expenditure, and regulatory frameworks can profoundly impact economic dynamics and the investment environment.

The modern US economy heavily relies on tech giants like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). These companies not only drive innovation but also shape the country’s economic landscape, contributing significantly to the gross domestic product (GDP), job creation, and international trade. They also make substantial tax contributions despite ongoing debates about their tax practices.

For those considering investment opportunities in the United States, exploring a free market replay simulation could prove beneficial. Such simulations accurately mirror price fluctuations in real-time, offering inexperienced investors a risk-free environment to learn and practice trading strategies.

Investing in the US economy presents both significant opportunities and risks. Diversification, market research, and economic policy analysis can mitigate potential downsides. Despite challenges, the American economy has historically shown resilience and long-term growth potential.

The New Force is buying back the country that’s already sold – Nana Kwame Bediako explains

Published

on

Screenshot 2024 04 15 at 20.26.45

Two media outlets respectively ran headlines which sought to frame and misrepresent a case I made during an interview on TV3 which aired on April 12th. In a maliciously lopsided manner, the headlines stated that I will come back and buy the country if Ghanaians reject me.

The media outlets; one, Ghana Web and two, Pulse Ghana; they are both outrightly owned by foreigners. Ghana Web is managed by a Dutch company and owned by Robert Bellaart of Bellaart Investments B.V. Pulse Ghana is managed by Pulse Africa which is owned by Swiss entrepreneur, Leonard Stiegeler.

Clearly, my commentary was taken out of context by the two media outlets. Word for word what I said at the beginning of that part of my presentation is this; It is one of my ultimate motives to create a million millionaires in Ghana. This statement is our premise. This statement has always been a key guideline to the vision of the movement of The New Force and the case that as the leader of The New Force movement I will continue to make. The case can be made; if as a people we could from within our own country generate a million millionaires, with just ten percent of their wealth we will be in a position to redeem, to buy back the country that we have lost, the country which has over the past decades been sold to foreign entities.

No ifs or buts; It is the ultimate goal of The New Force movement to restore the economy of Ghana and to redeem the nation of Ghana and by extension all of Africa.

A call to you and to everyone who cares about the future of Ghana, The New Force movement seeks to ensure our commitment to the nation and to each other in the pursuit of equality, empowerment, and equity for all in our society. It is the guiding mission of The New Force to buy back our country which is already sold. This is the message of The New Force. Its singular vision. Its singular objective. And I continue to put my life on the line to ensure this. It is my calling. My destiny is tied to that of the people of Ghana. It is a choice that I have reinforced every day for more than a decade; every single choice, every single private and public decision of mine is aligned to this vision. This choice is what gives me courage every single day.

Now let me in addition remind the people of Ghana that we need to hold close to the heart and soul of the nation the sacredness of our media spaces. Just like with our minerals and human resources, just like with our government policies and our political parties, we need to vigilantly guard the ethics of our media spaces especially in watershed moments in our trajectory as a people, who we are, and also who we are becoming. It is sacred. This is critical.

I want the media to remember this; you are responsible for a lot of things; therefore, your responsibility is a social and national responsibility. I am urging all the media platforms to wake up and be serious with their facts and protect the nation. And I hope we are in this together; to build a better nation, A BETTER COUNTRY, a better people, a better continent. We have to do it ourselves.

Thank you.

An Introductory Guide to Stock Trading in Ghana

181479B8 517E 4ADC 8B3B 836D0E1BF262 1 scaled

Welcome to the stock market carnival, where each move seems like a thrilling journey on a financial rollercoaster. Stock trading, also known as equity trading, is your passport to the thrilling experience of buying and selling shares in publicly listed firms. In Ghana, everything revolves around the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), our own playground for those willing to trade stocks and fulfill financial aspirations. So saddle up and prepare for a wild trip as you explore the fundamentals of stock trading in the country of gold and cocoa.

Understanding the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE)

The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) is more than simply a marketplace; it’s a thriving hub where shares, bonds and a slew of other financial assets find new homes every day. The GSE, established in 1990, is more than simply a place to buy and sell; it is the motor that drives capital into businesses and fuels hopes of financial achievement. And, guess what? It’s all under the cautious eye of Ghana’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which ensures that our financial playground remains fair, transparent and entertaining.

Getting Started with Stock Trading

Before you begin surfing the waves of the stock market and start trading stock indices, make sure you have your swim trunks and goggles ready. Spend some time dipping your toes into the pool of financial knowledge. Explore several methods like a kid in a candy store to get a sense of the highs and lows of the market rollercoasters. And don’t forget to establish goals. Whether you want to compete in the financial Olympics or simply play in the kiddie pool, having a strategy can help you stay afloat in the market’s rough seas.

Opening a Brokerage Account

Welcome to the first stage of your stock trading career on the Ghana Stock Exchange. Consider creating a brokerage account like selecting a dancing partner: you want someone who is dependable, competent and knows the correct movements. So go around for a brokerage business that checks all of your criteria. Examine their rates, listen to their customer service vibes and determine whether their trading platform has the beat you’re searching for. Once you’ve discovered your match, it’s as simple as following their lead—just complete your paperwork and you’ll be on the dance floor of the stock market in no time.

Researching Stocks

Buckle up as it’s time to go into the fine gritty of effective trading. It’s not enough to choose stocks at random; you also need to do your homework. Begin by looking into a company’s finances like a detective, sifting through earnings reports and balance sheets for hidden treasures. But do not stop there. Get technical—analyze those charts like a seasoned specialist, identifying trends and patterns that others may overlook. When you mix the art of fundamental analysis and the science of technical analysis, you’ll be trading like a pro in no time.

Placing Trades and Managing Investments

After you’ve done your research and selected your winning stocks, it’s time to make some decisions. Start up your brokerage account’s trading platform and prepare to plunge in. Whether you want to purchase low or sell high, your broker’s platform has you covered. Keep a careful check on your assets and remain current with market trends and business news. Don’t forget to play it intelligently by using stop-loss orders to safeguard your winnings and diversifying your assets across industries. With a little wisdom and a sense of humour, you’ll be trading like a pro in no time.

Navigating Market Volatility

Prepare yourself for the ups and downs caused by everything from economic data to global news stories. While volatility may lead to significant rewards, it can also throw you off if you’re not vigilant. Remember, it’s all about thinking long-term and resisting the impulse to respond to every market fluctuation. Maintain your composure, adhere to your investing strategy and explore tactics such as dollar-cost averaging to smooth out any bumps along the road. With a steady touch and a bit of wit, you’ll master the twists and turns.

Continuous Learning and Improvement

It’s more than just buying and selling; it’s a journey of continuous development and adaptability. Accept any chance to learn, whether through workshops, seminars, or online resources.

The knowledge of these regulations can act prophesy to early addressing of impending legal problems and to meeting all the employment laws, which include for example, the California Fair Labor Standards. Here is employment law advice for employers to protect a company from employment lawsuits.

Catcalls, in appropriate touching, sexual harassment, verbal abuse, all these are examples of bad behavior that may contribute to a hostile working environment for the staff.
