Trade Minister Unveils Major Industrial Projects, Positions Ghana as Prime Investment Hub
The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Madam Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, has assured investors that Ghana offers strong and secure opportunities for strategic global investment, backed by government policy support and macroeconomic stability.
She made the statement when she met a delegation from the United Kingdom led by the Director of SP Consulting Ltd, Ms Shivani Patel, in Accra.
She said Ghana was actively pursuing partnerships with the private sector to drive industrial expansion and job creation.
The Minister announced several government initiatives that are currently underway, including the revitalisation of the Pwalugu Tomato Factory, the development of the Greater Kumasi Industrial Park and the legacy Marine Drive Project.
She described the projects as key flagship programmes expected to boost manufacturing, tourism, infrastructure development, and employment across the country.
She also highlighted national policies recently approved by Cabinet in agribusiness, automotive and component manufacturing, textiles and garments, and pharmaceuticals.
The Minister noted that the policy frameworks were designed to provide clearer regulatory direction, reduce investment risk, and ensure sustainable returns for investors entering the sectors.
She reiterated government’s commitment to sustaining an enabling environment for investors and called for continued collaboration between Ghana and its international partners to accelerate industrialisation and economic growth.
The UK delegation, for its part, described Ghana as a priority investment destination, citing the country’s relative macroeconomic stability, improving institutional framework, and strong growth outlook within the West African sub-region.
