The introduction of the 1D1F by the government has seen many
factories being established, others are also being revamped and expansion of
some existing factories. Many businessmen have taken this opportunity to create
employment for the youth.
The Asantehene, Otumfou Osei Tutu II has also taken this opportunity
and he is establishing a factory under the 1D1F at Sabin Akrofuom in the
Ashanti region. The factory will process fruits into fruit concentrates. The
major fruits to be process are mango and pineapple. The mango will come from
his mango farm at Nkronza and some will be bought from other farmers.
The factory is expected to provide 100 direct jobs and 300
indirect jobs when completed. This is the first project. The factory will be
complete very soon and start to operate.
