About 10 firms are expected to set up plastic manufacturing plants in the country by the end of the year. The firms are participating in the plastics, rubber and packaging fair currently ongoing at the Ghana International Trade Fair dubbed- Plaspack Fair.

Satish Khanna is the General Manager of the Al Fajer Information and Services, organizers of the fair spoke to JOY BUSINESS.

“The process is on. They are already talking to some partners. They are looking for reliable partners to work with. It's always good to work with a partner in a foreign country.

In a country of 25million, there should be more plastic manufacturing companies. The plastic consumption in Ghana is more than India with a per capita consumption of about 8 kilos compared to 6 kilos in India” he noted.
