President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has assured local manufacturing companies that his government will provide them with the necessary support in the face of our economic challenges.
He made the pledge when he paid a working visit to Blue Skies Company Limited in Doboro, close to Nsawam.
Blue Skies is a local fruit processing firm that employs 4,500 Ghanaians.
The visit by the President comes in the wake of some top multinational companies exiting the Ghanaian market for varied reasons.
Group CEO Hugh Pile appealed to the government for support to expand their operations and address challenges in the pineapple industry.
“We believe agriculture is the beating heart of our success but the pineapple industry in this country has faced real challenges. It has shrunk and shrunk and shrunk. So how can we find ways to support farmers to reengage with Pineapple.”
Responding, the President expressed his admiration for the work being done at Blue Skies and assured the management of the government’s support.
“I’m impressed with the work of the company. With people like you, there’s hope for the future. I have assured your bosses of the government’s support to the company”, he said.
