Jomoro MP Engages Paramount Chief and Investors Over Proposed Coconut Processing Factory.

Jomoro MP Engages Paramount Chief and Investors Over Proposed Coconut Processing Factory.

The Member of Parliament for Jomoro in the Western Region, Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has engaged the Paramount Chief of the Western Nzema Traditional Area, Awulae Kwasi Amachie, together with prospective investors exploring plans to establish a coconut processing factory in the Jomoro Municipality.


The engagement forms part of efforts to attract strategic investments that can harness the economic potential of the area’s coconut industry while creating sustainable opportunities for residents.


During the meeting, the Jomoro MP, who is also the Deputy Transport Minister, highlighted the significant potential of coconut production in the area and the need to move beyond the export of raw agricultural produce by promoting local processing and value addition.


She noted that the proposed factory could provide a major boost to the local economy by creating jobs for young people, expanding markets for coconut farmers and improving livelihoods across communities in Jomoro.


The proposed investment is also expected to empower local farmers by providing a ready market for their produce, while supporting the development of a more integrated coconut value chain within the municipality.


Engagement with the traditional leadership was considered important in exploring how the investment could align with the development priorities and aspirations of the people of the Western Nzema Traditional Area.


The prospective investors are currently exploring the feasibility of establishing the processing facility, which could potentially transform locally produced coconuts into higher-value products for both domestic and international markets.


For Jomoro, which has considerable agricultural potential, the establishment of a coconut processing factory could represent an important step towards industrialisation, economic diversification and local value creation.


The MP reaffirmed her commitment to supporting initiatives capable of attracting responsible investment to Jomoro and creating sustainable economic opportunities for constituents.

She stressed the importance of collaboration among traditional authorities, investors, farmers, government institutions and other stakeholders to ensure that major investments deliver meaningful and lasting benefits to local communities.


The proposed project, if successfully realised, could also contribute to strengthening the local agricultural sector, reducing post-harvest losses and positioning Jomoro as an important hub for coconut processing and related industries.


The engagement with Awulae Kwasi Amachie and the prospective investors therefore marks an important step in exploring the potential of the project and building the necessary partnerships for its successful implementation.

The initiative reflects the broader vision of leveraging Jomoro’s natural and agricultural resources to create jobs, promote local enterprise and unlock new economic opportunities for the people of the municipality.
