The women-led agro-processing centre in Bolgatanga is actively pursuing inclusion in Ghana’s 24-hour economy initiative, aiming to enhance their contribution to the local economy and boost productivity. This centre, renowned for empowering female entrepreneurs in the Northern Region, focuses on processing agricultural products, thereby adding value and creating employment opportunities within the community.
Advocates argue that being part of the 24-hour economy would allow the centre to operate beyond traditional business hours, increasing output and meeting growing market demands. This initiative aligns with Ghana’s broader economic diversification and development strategies aimed at stimulating continuous economic activity and fostering inclusivity.
Officials from the agro-processing centre emphasize the importance of recognizing and supporting the efforts of women in agro-industry, particularly in regions where agriculture forms the backbone of livelihoods. Inclusion in the 24-hour economy could provide the necessary framework, resources, and infrastructure to enable sustained operations and economic growth.
