Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Minister-Designate for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, has emphasized the pressing need to revitalize the Komenda Sugar Factory for the benefit of Ghanaians.

The factory has been inactive due to a lack of raw materials, which has hindered its ability to operate efficiently.

During her appearance before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on January 22, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare stressed the importance of restoring the factory to reduce Ghana's dependency on sugar imports.

She committed to working closely with the relevant ministry to assess the factory's current state and ensure its successful revitalization, making it a key asset for the country. "I have been told that as we speak, the Komenda Sugar Factory is not operational and one of the major challenges the factory has suffered is the lack of raw materials to feed that industry and some missing parts. "I have also been told that monies were released to solve these problems.
