The Food Industry in Ghana

The Food Industry in Ghana continues to grow steadily with strategic key players taking advantage of the growing demand of consumers for ready-to-eat and convenient foods. Problems of lack of appropriate equipment, sourcing of raw materials, cost of packaging materials and packaging requirements, inadequate and defective packaging, lack of enforcing standards and specifications and environmental issues persists in the food industry which has the potential to fetch revenue for entrepreneurs and business owners.
