Ghana currently spends over $1 billion on food imports, making it highly susceptible to price hikes. One way to prevent this, is to invest in local entrepreneurs like Janet Gyimah-Kessie. She has a large-scale cassava processing operation which not only increases local food production, but also creates employment and a market for other local cassava producers.
