This move by Jospong Group stemmed from the government\u2019s decision to boost the economy through import substitution.<\/p>\n<p>A core team later visited Thailand for the Ghana-Thailand Business conference in March 2023 with researchers from various universities in Ghana as well as major players in the rice industry.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Ghana spent over GH\u00a26.8billion (equivalent to US$560million at current market rates) importing rice, a grain that can be produced locally.<\/p>\n<p>While total rice consumption stood at 1.4 million metric tonnes in 2022, imports valued at US$560 million accounted for 800,000 metric tonnes (mt) of the consumption figure, with domestic production catering for the remaining demand \u2013 according to data from IDH Sustainable Trade, a foundation headquartered in The Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, according to the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, between 2010 and 2020 the country\u2019s rice imports hit a staggering US$8billion. This, in addition to imports of other food items that can be produced locally, has been a major source of concern for stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
