The factories under construction<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the government\u2019s \u201cOne District, One Factory (1D1F)\u201d
\ninitiative, Afram Plains South District in the Eastern Region is set to get two
\nfactories.<\/p>\n

The factories are a Cassava Processing and Pig Production located
\nat Forifori and Agyata respectively. Their construction started last year and
\nis expected to be completed in the next six months, this year. The factories
\nwill\u00a0engage over 1,000 youths, thereby reducing the unemployment rate in
\nthe district.<\/p>\n

Jeff Konadu Addo, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the ruling New
\nPatriotic Party (NPP), who owns the Cassava Processing Factory, after touring
\nthe site over the weekend, explained to journalists that the projects are
\nintegrated, and the pigs farm is going to produce a minimum of 45,00 metric
\ntons of meat every month.<\/p>\n

He said\u00a0\u2026the factory would use the cassava residue from the
\ncassava processing factory nearby and mix with other ingredients to produce the
\nfeed for the pigs. He noted that the farmers in Afram Plains South are going to
\nhave a ready market for their farm produce such as cassava, maize, among
\nothers.<\/p>\n

Jeff Konadu added that the cassava would be processed into gari
\nand chips, which would be supplied to local markets and some exported to other
\ncountries.<\/p>\n

Mr. George Ofori, the Kwahu Afram Plains South District Chief
\nExecutive, also said the district, in partnership with the investors, would set
\nup the factories in the area, this year.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ofori said the factory would enhance the agribusiness sector,
\nwith opportunities for women and persons with disability (PWDs).<\/p>\n

He said 200 acres of cassava had been planted to serve as raw
\nmaterials to feed the factory and that the factory had prompted many farmers to
\ngo into the cultivation of cassava in the district.<\/p>\n

He commended the government\u2019s effort in the implementation of
\nprogrammes that enhance agriculture in the district.<\/p>\n

He noted that since Afram Plains had become the food basket of the
\ncountry, people within the district are always happy with programmes that will
\nenhance agriculture, saying the provision of fertilizers to farmers is a laudable
\nmove.<\/p>\n

He commended the government for the provision of tractors and
\nirrigation machines and others to reduce the burden on farmers.<\/p>\n

On Planting for Food and Jobs, he revealed that the production of
\nmaize by farmers had been successful. He called on the government to buy the
\nmaize from the farmers.<\/p>\n

He said by the end of the year, the \u2018One District, One Warehouse\u2019
\ninitiative would commence operations.<\/p>\n
