The economic recession in Ghana during the early eighties brought in its wake serious shortages in consumable items such as sugar, soap, rice, milk, etc. One of the surest ways of having access to these “essential commodities” was to form a consumer co-operative society so the then Local GNAT that comprised Berekum and its satellite villages and Jinijini sub-local formed that Berekum Area Teachers consumer co-operative society excluding the Seikwa Local Area.
But before the Department of Co-operative would give approval to the new consumer society, there was the need to get a store room that would serve as the distribution centre fot the Local GNAT Secretariat, headed by Mr. J. E Nyamekye and Mr. Emmanuel Oduro-Sefah as the secretary, acquired a store room that eventually became the BEAT office. The consumer society did not get regular and adequate supplies as expected so upon the advice to Mr. J. E. Amissah, the then Brong Ahafo Regional GNAT officer in charge of Economic Welfare Services, the management included the sale of Agro products like palm oil, dressed birds and eggs from Mim. Later on foam mattresses and wax prints were added.
