Ghana 'reduces sugar and rice imports'

President John Dramani Mahama says government has made significant strides in the reduction of some imported products including rice and sugar which hitherto were massively imported for local consumption. 

He stated that local rice production for instance has significantly improved by about 60 per cent. 

President Mahama said this when he commissioned a 50 million Ghana Cedis Tomato Processing Plant for Conserveria Africana Limited in Tema. 

President Mahama emphasized that the strides made has helped to reduce the Country's foreign exchange.
