“Accra Brewery Limited takes great pride in the use of locally grown maize and sorghum in the production of some of our brands particularly Club Premium Lager and Chibuku Shake, hence the need for such donation every year,” she said.
Mrs Kyiamah said ABL is working towards the future to use more locally grown raw materials in existing and new brands.
