President Mahama has announced that government would revamp the coffee industry as a supplement to cocoa production.
He announced that government was targeting the Central Region that had comparative advantage in its production, and would therefore supply them with improved coffee seeds to step up production.
President Mahama said this while addressing the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce as part of his week-long official visit to the European country.
The President also announced that government was working closely with the Colombian government to provide technical support in massive production of coffee in the coming years.
Coffee production, he said, would provide an alternative to cocoa production that was on-going in six out of the 10 regions of the country.
He gave the assurance that government would continue to create fertile grounds for investors but urged them to always adhere to their side of the investment bargain in order not to fall below the demands of the law.
