Three moves. One closed loop.
Alcoford is not a single-output ethanol business. Every stage of the process is built to keep value moving, from the field, through the plant, and back again.
Source locally
Cassava is sourced directly from smallholder farmers across our network, building reliable demand and market access at the farm gate.
Transform efficiently
Fermentation and distillation convert cassava into bioethanol and industrial ethanol, alongside food, feed and fertilizer outputs.
Keep value in circulation
Process by-products recover as biogas, organic fertilizer and livestock feed, reducing waste and returning value to the land.
Six outputs, one cassava value chain.
Every product on this list comes from the same integrated process. Nothing is a side project.
The loop, end to end.
Cassava enters processing and leaves as ethanol and value-added products. By-products recover as energy and inputs that return to the farm.

“From low productivity to stronger yields and market access.”
Alcoford is not simply buying raw material.
Our farmer network is a direct sourcing relationship, not an anonymous supply chain. It is built on consistent demand, technical support and, where available through FarmAI Venture, digital decision-support tools.
Not a bigger distillery. A different model.
Our facility. Our farmers. Our products. This is what the circular model looks like in practice.
What a buyer can rely on.
Local sourcing
Cassava sourced directly from a growing farmer network, not imported feedstock.
Reliable specifications
Consistent product specifications for industrial, laboratory and clean-cooking applications.
Circular production
A process designed to valorize by-products rather than discard them.
Regional delivery
Active commercial relationships across six West African markets.
Markets served across West Africa.
Alcoford maintains active commercial relationships across the region. Production and sourcing are based in Togo.
"Markets served" reflects active commercial relationships, not physical facilities in every listed country.

FarmAI Venture
Digital tools for more productive, resilient farming.
FarmAI Venture is our digital agriculture initiative, being tested with farmers to improve decision support, productivity and circularity. It is part of the wider Alcoford ecosystem, developed and operated independently.
Farmers. Climate. Circularity.
Every figure Alcoford publishes is tied to an internal source, a reporting period and a definition, not a rounded-up estimate.
Farmers
A growing network of active farmers, supported with market access and technical engagement.
Climate
Bioethanol displaces higher-emission fuel sources for clean cooking and select industrial use.
Circularity
By-products are recovered as feed, fertilizer and process energy rather than discarded.
Selected partnerships and ecosystem support.
Alcoford works alongside farmer groups, commercial customers and technical partners across the region. Partner names are published only with explicit permission.
