AGI urges investment in skills and raw materials to strengthen local manufacturing

The industry says stronger collaboration, improved technical training, and increased local raw material production will be essential to expanding Ghana's manufacturing capacity.

The initiative is expected to create opportunities for local businesses, but industry players say addressing skills shortages, high production costs, and limited access to raw materials will be critical to strengthening industry demand.

Chairperson of AGI's Garment, Textiles and Leather Sector, Edwina Assan, says the association is engaging training institutions and industry players to develop the skills needed to strengthen local production.
