He quit his lucrative banking job to sell coffee – Owner of first ‘Akuapem coffee’ brand shares story

It was his dream to secure a prestigious job at one of the leading banks in Ghana and an education from a top tier secondary school in the country – Achimota School, as well as further studies at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom was enough to put him on the right track to achieving greatness in the field of banking.

But 12 months into securing such a job and living his dream as a member of the ‘white-collar family’, John Nana Addo Francois quit. His reason? A lack of fulfilment.

With no knowledge whatsoever in farming, interest was enough to get the ball rolling for the 31-year-old Akora who now produces Africa’s finest premium coffee and is exporting to several countries on the continent and in the United States of America.
