The Embassy of Ghana in Washington DC, USA, has commended Godfred Obeng Boateng, owner and Chief Executive Officer of A1 Bakery for expanding its operations to the United States.
In a Facebook post, Friday, the Embassy said “This expansion to the U.S. market is particularly unique because it is grounded on a special partnership arrangement with a major American bread company to ensure scale and penetration of the U.S. market at a faster rate.
“This initiative is part of Select USA, an American government program designed to help foreign products penetrate the U.S. market.
“As an Embassy, we are particularly proud of this emerging Ghanaian story and Godfried Obeng Boateng, the young CEO leading this initiative.”
In November last year, His Excellency Baffour Adjei Bawuah, then Ghana’s Ambassador to the United States was mesmerised by the efforts of Godfred Obeng Boateng when he paid a visit to the young entrepreneur and toured the bakery in New York.
The Ghana government representative observed that Mr. Boateng’s resolve to project and cement his brand outside the shores of Ghana after excelling in the West African country was impressive and laudable.
