Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Minister-designate for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industries, has pledged to promote the National Democratic Congress’ “Made in Ghana” agenda if approved by the Parliamentary Appointments Committee. During her vetting on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, she emphasized her commitment to reducing importation and boosting local production.
Responding to questions about her plans to support the “Made in Ghana” agenda, Mrs. Fosu-Adiare highlighted the importance of consuming locally grown food such as yam, cassava, and plantain as a key strategy to cut down on foreign imports.
“If we eat what we grow, our imports will reduce,” she stated.
She also noted her efforts in championing the promotion of Ghanaian products during her tenure as the former Minister of Tourism, where she encouraged industry players to showcase Ghanaian goods to both local and international audiences.
“When I was Minister for Tourism, I invited industry players to showcase what we have as a country,” she added.
Mrs. Fosu-Adiare urged Ghanaians to support the “Made in Ghana” initiative by patronizing locally made goods and promised to expand these efforts if given the mandate to serve as Minister.
