The Deputy Minister of Trade, Michael Okyere Baafi has dismissed claims that administration has deserted the Komenda sugar industrial facility initiated by previous President John Mahama.

Talking on Face to Face on Citi TV , the New Juaben South Member of Parliament said: "That we are not creating sugar doesn't mean there isn't anything occurring. It's anything but a trinket. In the event that you go there now, you will see laborers on the ground."

He made sense of that administration has needed to contribute a ton of time and assets into redoing the office, "previous President Mahama deserted."

"We [the NPP] came to meet a production line that was not completely tooled, one without ranch to act as natural substance to assist the industrial facility with making due. One that didn't have individuals to run it. There were a great deal of things that required fixing. By God's effortlessness, we are finished with them."

He showed that administration is working nonstop to guarantee that the office is completely functional toward July's end.

"As I speak, CBG is working with the Ministry of Trade and Industry as well as the specialists for the processing plant. We need to initially purchase sugar stick from the ranchers."

"Per my checks, I can guarantee you that, most recent by a month, the office will be running." Background

The Komenda Sugar Factory was worked at an expense of $35 million from an Indian EXIM Bank office.

It was initiated by then-President John Mahama in May 2016, yet halted tasks not long later.

The production line was supposed to utilize 7,300 individuals along the worth chain, supporting business possibilities in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem district.

President Akufo-Addo had given signs that the Komenda Sugar Factory would be completely operationalised in April 2022.

At that point, he said there were a few common works progressing at the processing plant site, and that toward the finish of March 2022, that large number of exercises would be finished to clear way for creation.

A Ghanaian-Indian organization, Park Agrotech Ghana Limited, is the new financial backer who will assume control over the tasks of the plant.

The public authority in 2019 said the organization was supposed to infuse $28 million into the production line somewhere in the range of 2020 and 2023.

$11 million was to go into sugarcane development; $6 million to redesign plant and hardware, and $11 million as working cash-flow to welcome the sickly production line in a good place again.

The Ghana-based organization is an auxiliary of the Skylark Group of Companies of India, perhaps of the biggest coordinated cultivating business in India.
