Ghana must intentionally develop indigenous agribusiness champions to drive industrialisation, create jobs, and position the country on the global trade map, Dan Fahene Acquaye, CEO of Agri-Impact Group, has said. 

Speaking at the National Agribusiness Dialogue held at the Kempinski Hotel, Gold City, Accra on Monday, July 28, 2025, Mr. Acquaye urged stakeholders to pursue smart policies, strategic partnerships, and export-driven incentives to nurture local firms into billion-dollar Unicorns.

His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, the Vice President, Hon. Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Distinguished Guests and Dignitaries, Captains of Industry, Partners, Industry Stakeholders, Ladies and Gentlemen;

Today marks a remarkable day where vision, desires and aspirations meet to reset the course of agribusiness, a sector that holds transformative potential for our economy, our people, and our future yet characterized by structural disconnect between primary production and industrial demand.
