Agricultural Division
Cultivating local fruits, cash crops, and raw ingredients to power nationwide production.
Three Pillars
We grow the raw ingredients, manufacture the finished goods, and move them to every corner of Sierra Leone.
Our agriculture division employs hundreds of local farmers and farmhands across our growing sites, producing the fresh fruits, vegetables, and raw ingredients that go into our locally made goods. We believe the best food comes from knowing exactly where it was grown and who grew it. Choosing us means choosing Sierra Leone.

Shankerdas & Sons produces a diverse range of essential and everyday goods including water tanks, pipes, purified water, soft drinks, and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Every product is a testament to what Sierra Leone is capable of making for itself. Choosing G. Shankerdas means choosing local industry, local jobs, and locally made quality.
