The lagoon and ramsar sites would not be destroyed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Operations Officer for Electrochem, Bernard Tetteh, took participants through the salt mining process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Janet Odei Amponsah<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Ghana stands to generate about $200m annually from the Electrochem Ghana outgrower scheme for local salt miners within Ada and its environs.
