Commissioning Ghana’s First <span class="txt-orange"> State-of-the-Art Pasta Manufacturing Facility</span>
<span class="p2"> Designed for future growth, the facility uses advanced processing technology to ensure quality and operational excellence. The introduction of local manufacturing expands the availability of affordable, nutritious staples and provide consumers with price stability and a reliable supply of pasta, all of which is fortified with essential micronutrients and vitamins that support national nutrition goals.</span>
<span class="p2">Before unveiling a plaque and cutting the ribbon to activate the plant, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama stated that the government owes it a duty to offer a stable policy environment, support essential infrastructure, and collaborate with investors who show seriousness and a long-term commitment to the country.</span>
<span class="p2">He said investments like the pasta factory, help to stabilise supply and prices, and support the development of technical skills within the manufacturing sector, describing the plant as one of the ‘tangible benefits’ resulting from ongoing agro industrial investments under the agriculture for economic transformation agenda.</span>
<span class="p2">Today’s commissioning is proof that the economic reset agenda is not merely rhetoric; it is delivering tangible results. Ghana imported approximately US$140 million worth of pasta from 2021 to 2024, making us the second largest importer on the continent behind Togo. This US$40 million state-of-the-art facility will change that picture significantly.</span>
<span class="p2">With its annual production capacity of 60,000 metric tons, it is projected to meet a substantial share of domestic demand, drastically reduce our pasta import bill, and position Ghana as a net exporter of pasta within the sub-region.</span>
<span class="p2">Commissioning the facility signals confidence in Ghana’s economy and reaffirms Olam Agri’s partnership in advancing the industrial base, strengthening food systems, and promoting inclusive growth.</span>
<span class="p2">The new facility strengthens Olam Agri’s capabilities in Ghana where it already operates the country's largest state-of-the-art wheat mill in Tema with the First Choice and Royal Gold brands, and its rice operations with leading consumer brands, such as Mama Gold. It is the latest addition to the company’s wheat milling and pasta operations with other facilities in Nigeria, Senegal and Cameroon. <br> <br> </span>
