1D1F: I only know of Ekumfi juice – GUTA President says as he proposes fair [Audio]

The Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) is urging the government to organize a fair to showcase products from the One District One Factory (1D1F) initiative.

GUTA President Dr. Joseph Obeng, speaking on Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen program, noted that many in the business community, including himself, are only familiar with products like Ekumfi juice.

He believes a fair would promote awareness and patronage of made-in-Ghana goods, benefiting both traders and potential investors.

Dr. Obeng also emphasized the need for raw material production for these factories to support the government's industrialization efforts. The 1D1F initiative has reportedly created 170,000 jobs and developed 321 projects.
