*MADE IN GHANA PRODUCTS*
Every country ensure development within because their self input in the country. We can get what what we want when we start to produce it yourself and Ghana is not exception to that.
There are a lot of products Ghana produce here but it is not enough and value is not added to that to help increase foreign exchange.
Ghana has recently become very dependent on other countries for money and resources where we have the capability and ability to produce our own.
Ghana's Dept stock is Ghs 291billion translating into 76% of the total value of the Ghana's economy. This is very high in recent years because we depend much on others, though COVID invasion has been other factor but it seems Ghana priorities are not right.
Ghana is soliciting $25 million for black stars to go to AFCON which winning the trophy is less than $10 million. $100 million was agitated to be used to built cartederal where the same amount was used by Hon Ibrahim Mahama for the Dzata cement production which is employing a lot of Ghanaians.
Government cannot provide all citizens a job but can help individuals to create their own employment to reduce the rate of unemployed graduates.
Am asking, is the government doing enough to push up individuals to create their own employment? MBSSI is an institution which helps small scale enterprises to develop but the process one needs to go through before he or she get access is another headache. Besides how many Ghanaians know MBSSI?
Values are not added to the produce we export. Raw of cocoa, timber, minerals and even human beings are exported generating low foreign money.
Duties on raw materials Ghanaians import to the country is very expressive according to KANTANKA MOTORS and BAKERY INSTITUTIONS on flour and other things.
Will this improve made in Ghana products? Leadership in Ghana also have the taste for foreign products than that of Ghanaians. Now the President and government officials use BMW and V8 while KANTANKA motors are made in Ghana. We serve DON SIMON in public gathering where we have our own EKUMFI JUICE FACTORY producing the same product with low cost.
We can make our own great by development and patronizing what we produce.
