  The Nkrumah regime built a jute factory in 1962 – constructed by then Taylor Woodrow.
  The raw material – kenaf - the plant fibre used to produce the sacs was grown by farmers in the Afram Plains. In 1991, the jute factory located in Kumasi that employed over 400 people closed down.
  Every government comes in and laud cocoa farming as a vital mainstay of the economy but never or sparingly talk about revitalizing the defunct jute factory. You have the Asantehene sitting there (not that it matters), the Agric ministers sitting there, the cocoa farmers sitting there, Cocoa Board sitting there, the chiefs and elders in the cocoa growing areas sitting there, and the head of government sitting there who cannot bring a simple jute factory into production. BUT would RATHER IMPORT JUTE SACS? Good job people!!!!! How much will it take to help Afram Plains farmers grow KENAF - the raw material plant - to supply a revitalized jute factory in Kumasi?
  Not talking about any political ideologies, but DO you now Miss Nkrumah’s industrialization policies? If you take stock of all factories built in the 1960s that are now defunct and you revitalize some or most of them the economy would be very self-sufficient. I guess some people would say ‘we know this already’. OK. Just do it. What are you waiting for? Whew!

  Exactly, there are no Leaders in Ghana or What? We had everything and Regional based. I can remember when my friends in Kumasi worked at Jute Factory, Coca-Cola, Guinness, Gihoc Distilleries on Long Vacations. Firestone tyres from Bonsa in the Western Region, TOPP Oil Plantations, Aboso Glass Factory, Ceramics from Saltpond, Matches Factory at Nyinahin,Volta Corn beef from Navrongo, Tomatoes from Akumadan, Lever Brothers and Nestlé at Tema, Canneries at Nsawam.
