The Upper East Regional Minister, Akamugri Atanga Danatus, has intensified efforts to attract strategic investment into the Upper East Region as part of his vision to develop an integrated agro-industrial and irrigation corridor in Northern Ghana.
As part of his investment mission to China and under the PEARL Framework organised by the Regional Coordinating Council, the Minister engaged several Chinese companies and government representatives to explore opportunities for collaboration, technology transfer, industrial development, renewable energy, modern agriculture, poultry production and processing, water management, and industrial park development.
During the visit, the Regional Minister met with the Ghana Ambassador to China, Kojo Bonsu, to brief him on the purpose and progress of the delegation’s visit from September 13 to 20, 2026.
The Minister outlined the region’s investment potential and his objective of using strategic partnerships with Chinese investors to transform the Upper East Region into a major agro-industrial and manufacturing hub in Northern Ghana.
The briefing also provided an opportunity for the Minister to discuss the various companies and institutions engaged during the mission and the potential areas in which their investments could be established in the Upper East Region.
The Minister called for the continued support and cooperation of the Ghana Embassy in China in facilitating engagements between the Region and credible Chinese investors. He emphasised that the Region remains open to partnerships that can bring capital, technology, expertise and employment opportunities to the people of the Upper East.

The engagement explored opportunities for collaboration in developing the poultry value chain in the Upper East Region, including feed production, modern poultry farming, processing and value addition.
