Veep Woos Investors

THE VICE President, Alhaji Aliu Mahama has encouraged foreign investors to invest in Ghana's economy, especially the agriculture sector.

He said Ghana has vast tracts of land to satisfy their demands and that the doors of the country were opened to all for partnership investment.

The Vice President said this at a Business and Investment Promotion Seminar in New Delhi, India.

The seminar, which would attract investors into the agriculture, ICT, tourism and aviation sectors, would showcase trade and investment opportunities available in Ghana and as well promote Ghana as a preferred business destination in Africa.

Vice President Mahama recalled last year when the country suffered serious post harvest losses in the production of citrus, pineapple and other agricultural produce, and encouraged Indian businessmen to invest in those areas.

Alhaji Mahama said Ghana was strategically placed to connect to other neighbouring countries with good road networks.

He expressed gratitude to the Indian government for the relationship between the two countries.

The Chairman of the Indian Committee on International Affairs, Arun Agarwal said his country was happy doing business with Ghana.

Ghana's High Commissioner to India, John Bentum Williams urged Indian businessmen to take advantage of the business opportunities in Ghana particularly in the area of oil exploration.
