okay maybe in major towns - but as long as one district one factory - is private sector driven - no problem. I don't think they will be sustainable because your need economies of scale/location/consolidations for industrialization to work. But what we need are huge industrial parks in major towns - at least for import substitutions - a lot of chinese trinkets that we import - can be manufactured here in Africa. We need to copy german model - train millions of kids in vocational skills - then open industries - otherwise we will have Nigeria kind of problem where population is a curse not a blessing. I will checkout the dawa industrial parks. vaxx2: one district one industrial pack is impossible. ""Ghana has over 254 district"" . even China can't try it . that will be way too expensive and practically hold revenue into a halt. since this company will be motivated with incentives as well.
Having a major recommend industrial park is more practical than hosting development across major districts. there must be district known for agriculture practice and as well as industrial hub park ( where manufacturing of goods will be deployed).
one district one factory is a good initiative if goverment doesn't fall ball on the initiative and policy.

Just30: Ghana government plans to process 50% of cocoa in country – Owusu-Agyeman December 16, 2018 General News, Lead Story Comments Offon Ghana government plans to process 50% of cocoa in country – Owusu-Agyeman
Facebook Twitter Google + Stumbleupon LinkedIn Pinterest
Hackman Owusu-Agyeman – Board Chairman of the Ghana Cocoa Board The Board Chairman of the COCOBOD, Mr. Hackman Owusu-Agyeman says the government is planning to process 50 per cent of the cocoa that is produced in the country.
He also said government was playing its part to achieve the set target of one million-tonne cocoa production for the 2018/2019 crop season.
Ghana is the second largest producer of cocoa in the world after Ivory Coast.
He said these when Mr. Harold Poelma, the President of Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate led a delegation to pay courtesy calls on the Chairman of COCOBOD and the Minister of Food and Agriculture as part of activities marking ten years of Cargill in Ghana.
A statement issued by Cargill and copied to the Ghana News Agency said the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, congratulated Cargill on its anniversary and the immense job it has been doing to improve the sector with global best practices.
He said government was fully committed to alleviating socio-economic challenges in the cocoa sector and pledged his Ministry’s unflinching support for Cargill.
Mr. Poelma thanked the Minister for his drive and vision towards a sustainable cocoa sector and Cargill’s contribution in that regard.
He said Cargill was committed to continue investments in the sector, and that, Cargill is open to dialogue with the government to improve the cocoa sector.
The Cargill delegation also visited the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) and was welcomed by Mr. Hackman Owusu-Agyemang, the Chairman of COCOBOD, who was full of praise for Cargill’s business model acknowledged Cargill’s contributions and positive impacts on the cocoa sector over the last ten years.
Mr Owusu-Agyemang congratulated Cargill on a decade of innovation; touching on the installation of the fully-automated digital solar system at the Tema plant and called for cooperation towards a sustainable environment.
He said government was playing its part to achieve the set target of one million-tonne cocoa production for the 2018/2019 crop season and 50 per cent of cocoa to be processed in Ghana.
In response, Mr. Pieter Reichert, the Managing Director for Cargill’s cocoa and chocolate business in Ghana, expressed Cargill’s readiness for further collaborations and Cargill’s role in ensuring environmental sustainability.
He also outlined the outcome of Cargill’s traceability-focused fully e-money enabled Licensed Buying Company; Cargill Kokoo Sourcing Company Limited.
“Since its establishment, 13,000 cocoa farmers have benefitted from a total of GH¢6 million in premium payments and currently covers 11 districts,’’ he said.
He also drew the Chairman’s attention to the unfairness in the light crop industry and encouraged the COCOBOD to take steps in addressing it.
A tenth-anniversary commemorative dinner was also held; where the executives of Cargill engaged with sector stakeholders on ways to reinvigorate Ghana’s cocoa sector.
It is expected that these engagements will help Cargill continue to bolster farmer confidence in the cocoa sector.
Cargill was actively working with farmers to change and improve practices to curb deforestation and also support activities to promote sustainable farming practices and improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities.
The statement said the delegation also toured some communities where the Cargill Kokoo Sourcing Company Limited operates, including the Baniekrom Buying Plant, Akrobokrom and Nyinahin communities in the Ashanti Region on.
“For the farmers, the visit signified Cargill’s commitment to keeping the farmer at the heart of its business.
They were also grateful for the visit and expressed their satisfaction with Cargill’s innovative payment system, weighing system and savings scheme”
It said Cargill had been buying cocoa from Ghana for over 40 years and in 2008 opened its state-of-the-art cocoa processing facility in Tema.
Today the company has over 600 permanent and contracted employees processing cocoa products to serve food and confectionary customers locally and around the world.

Yes - of course both raw materials and market are two main consideration - if something is heavy & perishable - then process at sources - otherwise it may be cheaper to process near the market(cities) - but look at this - there is so much one rice mill can do in a district - they are not SCALABE. Within an industrial park - say you food processing park - where all raw rice or beans or maize will brought for processing - - folks selling packaging materials will set up there - all labour will be there --gov can focus on providing reliable & cheap power there --all retailers & wholesalers will prefer picking some rice, beans, vegetable oil --from the park ---rather than going 100kms to volta and the turning around 100kms to say Accra to pick something else-- you start reaping ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The 1D1F may see 1D1F for decades....chance of scaling this is remote. Distributing factories to every district is more political than economical. SUFFERInSMILIIN:

Yes, it is fully private company. but fully run by Ghana locally owned company and as well as other private one to be roll in kumasi and others...The kumasi one happens to be the biggest of them all. Actually as a hater of capitalist system myself, i actually don't support private driven investment but it seems Ghana focus on UK model (mixed economy).that is by the way an avenue for goverment to spend less while creating bigger investment.

Have you read Ghana investment promotion Council on the 1d1f it is mostly targeted at food processing and also goods which are 100% made in Ghana it is always better to put the factory as close to the raw material as possible. From a business point of view what the Ghanaian government is doing about putting rice factories in Volta is a brilliant agricultural economy call strategy. with all agricultural products they are perishables and they need to be processed very fast. So you put the rice meals as close to the Farmers as possible. Do you need to know rice is grown in swamp areas if they are not harvested in time and taken to a processing Mill near them the rice we have problems when trying to process it. Is ferocious and non-ferrous metals you can put those as close to the capital city as possible but for all agricultural produce it is better you put them as close to the farms as possible so that the Farmers do not spend a lot of money taking their goods for processing. Just look at the sugarcane plant which was put up in the swarms of South Ghana it is now reaping the benefits. White sugar did not take off those days in Ghana is because the sugar means what 200km from the farms and the Farmers did not want to pay a lot of money on transport taking their goods for processing 1 Like |

I don't think one district one factory is going anywhere - Kenya have had such similar hair-brained ideas - Economic Stimulus - and they have failed.
What works is Ethiopia kind of industrial parks.
It should be one industrial park one district. Gov buys or provide land that can house several industries - provide horizontal infrastructures - roads, water, housing and sewage - and then invite foreign and local investors to set up factories.
