Half Assini (W/R) Aug. 2, GNA - Mr Ernest Beyela, assemblyman for Nawule in the Jomoro district of the Western Region, on Friday called on the Minister of State, Trade, Industry and Presidential Special Initiative, to explore the vast deposits of limestone in the district, for use in the country and for export.
The product could be processed into finished goods and thus attract high market value on the international market. Mr Beyela made the call in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Half Assini.
He said any local entrepreneur who would establish a factory in the district, would find large quantities of the product to span over a long period.
Mr Beyela said the project, if established would create employment opportunities for the inhabitants to reduce the rural-urban drift.
He said in the Jaman District this year, 72 out of 148 production groups and four processing groups that applied for loans from the CDP funds had been approved by the vetting committee of the CDP, comprising some staff of the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Berekum Branch of the Agricultural Development Bank.
Dr. Karimu explained that the production groups were made up of 710 farmers, consisting of 494 males and 216 females.
