Akufo Monkey Addo left it standing for 8 years to rot like Sagleme. What do you expect. And yet that idiot called Bawumia is desperate to make a Fulani prostitute relevant in Walewale

You can produce sugar but it will cost more than the import. That's why it is sitting idle.
Ghana government likes to do nostalgia instead of what makes economic sense.
That facility was revived just for votes from a certain group. Economically and logistically it is a loss maker.
To make sugar you need to supply beets or sugar cane. There isn't enough sugar cane to supply the factory, because it was an afterthought. Buying sugar cane elsewhere and transporting it to this facility means the finished product becomes too expensive.

Yes, that was then. Molasses from the Caribbean was profitable in Europe until the cost of making sugar from beets became cheaper than cane sugar, and the end of slavery in the Caribbean lost the labor cost advantage.

Industrial process enhancement has made sugar from beets very cheap. And there are syrup sweeteners from corn, very cheap compared to cane sugar.
Tomatoes have the same problem, they are growing far from the population center that to transport it costs so much. The rural farmer is offered so low a price that they are not interested anymore and are selling the land for galamsey.

The result of criminality in national development. The toilet president did same to Saglemi and today, the cost of one Saglemi Housing unit will buy you a 3 bedroom house at Trasaco. See how God humiliated akuffo addo. The greatest criminal in global history to be awarded the title of a president. Even a used toilet paper has more dignity than akuffo addo. Today, the sitting toilet paper is hoping the big push will give them victory in 2028 just as he thought Terminal 3 and highly inflated circle dubai would do for him in 2016. He still thinks Ghanaians are fuuls. His image may sink more than akuffo.

So people of Komenda/Edina/ Eguafo/Abrem still do not know that the government of NDC has been deceiving them with this Komenda Sugar Factory? The deceit started in 2016 with commissioning of a factory that could not function since then is going to be revived in 2026. Wise up people.

They are not the smartest people. They have been hoodwinked and played for fools.
Ghanaians don't like to hear the truth.
