According to him, the decision falls in line with initiatives aimed at adding value to the numerous raw materials found in the Region.
“There are so many crops in the Dormaa and Bono communities – cashew, cocoa, tomatoes, corn, cassava et cetera – so our plans as an incoming government is to make the Region the agro-processing capital of Ghana, in order to process goods before availing them to the world market,” he said.
Speaking to residents of Dormaa Ahenkro during his visit to the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeye Dr. Agyemang Badu II, Mr. Mahama also assured residents of massive infrastructural development when voted into office.
