Suprudo, Amissano and Obidan lie at the western end of the Ekumfi Tradional Area in the Central Region of Ghana. The community covers an area of about 2,600 acres and has a population of about 3,000 inhabitants.  It shares borders with Abonku to the north-west, Kuntu to the west, Abaka to the north-east, Asokwa to the east, and Asaafa to the south-east.  It also shares a border with Mankesim Edumadze.


Suprudo represents the left wing of the Ekumfi Traditional Area and is thus responsible for the Benkumhene stool.


The main occupation of the community is farming and the area was once a major producer of fresh tomatoes because of its location near the tributary of River Amissa.  Sugarcane, coconut and basic food staples are also grown there.  In addition to farming there is salt winning which also contributes to employment.  In the recent past a Dutch owned company was engaged in the production of ornamental flowers at Suprudo for export to Europe.  It contributed immensely to employment by employing about 2,000 persons.  This company has, however, ceased operations thus rendering the majority of the inhabitants unemployed.  The need for employment generation at Suprudo/Amissano/Obidan can therefore not be overemphasized.
