I am confident that we will realise this important goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Akufo-Addo further said the prospect the expansion of GB Foods will influence the company\u2019s decisions \u201cnot only to source domestically its raw material base, but also to venture into the establishment of two industrial farmlands for the processing of tomato concentrate\u201d and hoped that \u201cmany more companies would commit to such a development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government I lead is a natural cheerleader for the private sector, and it is my sincere wish that GB Foods, and, indeed, the Ghanaian private sector will continue to invest further in Ghana. Cascading investments in our economy is the most effective way to expand and strengthen it in order to create the many jobs our young people so ardently want. It will happen, and soon,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that his government will continue to support private businesses in the country.
