Ghana – Feasibility Study of the Development of the Agro-industries Subsector

This project concerns the Feasibility Study of the Development of the Agro-industries Subsector. It is part of the Government's overall strategy for agricultural development. This study should help to improve the performance of the agricultural sector through the development of industries that use raw materials, create more jobs in rural areas, increase farmers' incomes and combat imports of food substitutes. In addition, improved conservation methods should add value to agricultural products. The main expected result is the production of a working document on agri-food, and a set of carefully prepared projects and programmes suitable for immediate implementation. The study should be carried out in two phases, namely: (i) critical review and analysis and (ii) feasibility and detailed design of projects and programmes.
