Ghana has lined up two fertilizer projects that could sharply expand domestic production, including a 500,000-ton plant in the Eastern Region and a separate US$10 million organic fertilizer facility.
The initiative brings together Olam Agri’s existing baker-development programmes across several African markets under a broader platform designed to expand skills development and economic opportunities in the baking sector.
The installation comprises 2,690 solar panels and is designed to generate approximately 2.29 million kWh of clean electricity annually, supplying power to Olam Agri’s pasta and flour manufacturing facilities.
The government has renewed its focus on Ghana’s oil palm industry, with the planned expansion forming part of efforts to increase farm output and strengthen local processing.
Building on successful collaboration in West Africa, the renewed partnership will scale sustainable sourcing initiatives, strengthen market access for producers, and promote inclusive agricultural development in Ghana, Nigeria, and potentially other countries.
