Founded in 2017, Commodity Monitor operates at the intersection of commodity trading, logistics, and research, bridging producers and consumers across global markets. The company deals in both soft commodities like maize, wheat, cocoa, and soya, and hard commodities such as gold, oil and gas, and renewable energy technologies.

This innovation aligns with Ghana鈥檚 commitment to the Minamata Convention and addresses the environmental and health hazards of mercury use in gold mining.

Stephen Yeboah emphasizes that formalizing small-scale mining through equipment financing, mining cooperatives, and government partnerships is critical for curbing illegal mining (galamsey) and boosting rural economic development in Ghana.

With support from partners in South Africa, Canada, and China, the company continues to fine-tune its technology, adapting machines to local geological conditions鈥攆rom Obuasi to Tarkwa, Wa, and the Upper East.
Beyond mining, Yeboah highlights the importance of value addition in agriculture, advocating for local processing in cocoa and cereals.
