Plans to boost local industrial development and create employment opportunities in Jomoro have taken a step forward following a sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of a coconut processing factory by Oil and Activated Carbon Ghana Limited.
The ceremony brought together traditional authorities, stakeholders and investors as part of efforts to attract investment and accelerate economic development in the area.
The project is expected to add value to locally produced coconuts, create jobs—particularly for young people—and stimulate economic activity in Jomoro and neighbouring communities.
Speaking on the initiative, the Member of Parliament nad Deputy Minister for Transport, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, expressed appreciation to Awulae Kwasi Amachie III, Paramount Chief of the Western Nzema Traditional Area, for his support in securing land for the project.
She also thanked other stakeholders for their cooperation in advancing the initiative.
According to her, the coconut processing factory is expected to contribute to local economic development by creating opportunities for value addition and strengthening the role of agriculture in the area’s industrial growth.
She added that the initiative is part of a broader efforts to position Jomoro as an attractive destination for investment, employment creation and sustainable development.
