The Minister for Food and Agriculture, Hon. Eric Opoku, has participated in the US–Ghana Investor Forum held on Thursday, January 15, 2026, in Pennsylvania, United States, where he outlined Ghana’s vast agricultural potential and reaffirmed government’s commitment to creating an enabling environment for investment.
Addressing investors and business leaders, Hon. Opoku highlighted the numerous opportunities across Ghana’s agricultural value chain and emphasized the policy incentives being rolled out to attract both local and foreign capital. He noted that these measures are aimed at mitigating investment risks while enhancing the overall attractiveness and competitiveness of the sector.
The Minister underscored Ghana’s strategic location within the West African sub-region, pointing to the country’s stable political and macroeconomic environment as a strong foundation for sustainable economic growth. He stressed that this stability, coupled with ongoing reforms, positions Ghana as a prime destination for agribusiness investments and value chain development.
Hon. Opoku therefore urged investors to channel their financial resources and technical expertise into the Ghanaian economy, particularly the agriculture sector, to unlock shared prosperity and long-term sustainable development.
He concluded by stating that under the visionary leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, Ghana is actively pursuing strategic partnerships, especially in agriculture, as a pathway to transformation, rather than relying solely on development assistance.
