“President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Thursday, commissioned CH Global Limited, a cassava and yam processing factory operating under government’s 1-District-1-Factory initiative, located in Addo Nkwanta, in the Krachi East District of the Oti Region.

With support from Ghana EXIM Bank to the tune of ¢10 million, the facility will process yam into frozen chips and yam balls, under the brand name CH Foods, and will take advantage of available local raw materials in the catchment area.”
The first phase of the project is estimated to process an average of 120 tubers of yam per hour, resulting in 60 bags of processed frozen yam chips and yam balls, requiring an annual production of 216,000 tubers of yam.

“The implementation of phase two of the project, which is scheduled to start in 2022, will introduce a cassava processing line for the production of cassava fries and snacks, with a capacity to process some 700 metric tons of cassava per year.“
