Alan Kyerematen: We’ll establish ten industrial parks across Ghana

This initiative which draws heavily on similar models from Asia, is expected to create thousands of jobs for Ghanaians.Speaking at the ongoing National Policy Summit in Accra, Alan Kyerematen explained that the move is geared towards enhancing industrial production across the ten regions and generally promoting export development.

“It takes us to the next component of our transformation agenda which is to establish at least one major industrial park in each of the ten regions. If we are talking about enhancement of industrial production then obviously access to lands, energy must be a critical factor. That is why these industrial parks are actually important. The magic of Asia, China Korea are all about the establishment of industrial parks and special economic zones.

“We are actually going to aggressively promote export development because if you produce, you should be able to sell. Although we have what I believe is quite a significant market , it’s still limited so we want to aggressively promote exports to take advantage of the enhanced production that is coming up,” Mr. Kyeremanten explained.
