Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has called for increased value addition to Ghana’s raw materials, particularly gold, as a strategy to enhance the country’s global competitiveness.
Speaking at the maiden Goldbod Heritage Village event, she stressed the need for a deliberate shift from exporting raw resources to processing and refining them locally.
According to her, this transition is essential for driving industrialisation, creating jobs, and strengthening Ghana’s economy.
She noted that Ghana stands to gain significantly by moving up the value chain, rather than relying on the export of unprocessed commodities.
The Vice President emphasised that value addition would not only increase revenue but also position the country more strategically in the global market.
