Ghana Seeks Indian Investment to Boost Key Sectors

Ghana is actively seeking investment from India’s private sector in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare to stimulate economic growth and development. Acting High Commissioner of Ghana to India, Louis Kwame Obeng, highlighted these opportunities during a session at the Bharat Chamber of Commerce (BCC) in Kolkata.

Ghana Seeks Indian Investment in Agriculture

Agriculture remains a cornerstone of Ghana’s economy, yet its contribution to the national GDP has been on the decline. Obeng emphasized the need for modern agricultural techniques and invited Indian investors to participate in revitalizing the sector through advanced farming methods and technology.

Opportunities in Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare

The healthcare and pharmaceutical industries in Ghana present significant opportunities for growth and development. Obeng called upon Indian businesses to invest in these sectors, aiming to enhance healthcare services and pharmaceutical production within the country.

Ghana Seeks Indian Investment in Renewable Energy and Technology

Beyond agriculture and healthcare, Ghana is also focusing on renewable energy, telecommunications, digital infrastructure, and cybersecurity. The country offers a stable and peaceful environment, with vast reserves of natural resources like gold, oil, bauxite, and manganese, and stands as the world’s second-largest producer of cocoa.

Obeng assured potential investors of Ghana’s commitment to protecting business interests through robust legal frameworks, operating under a multi-party democratic government. He noted that investments in Ghana could provide market access to the entire West African region, including Nigeria.

BCC President Naresh Pachisia echoed these sentiments, stating that India and Ghana are natural partners with substantial potential for trade and investment collaborations.

The call for investment aligns with the longstanding relationship between India and Ghana, both founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement and the Commonwealth. Over the years, India has been among the largest foreign investors in Ghana, with significant contributions in sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and technology. This initiative aims to further strengthen economic ties and mutual growth between the two nations.

In conclusion, Ghana’s invitation to Indian private sector investors represents a strategic move to enhance its key economic sectors, leveraging the strong bilateral relations and mutual interests shared with India.
