A visit to the national Museum helps one appreciate the place of history in relation to the contributions, sacrifices and the resilient attributes of the people of the past in building a solid foundation that we perhaps leverage on today regardless of evolution.

Ghana as a nation with rich historical cultural value must harness the opportunities in tourism for economic benefits. Every aspect of the Museum helps reflect on the evolution of our dynamic culture from the archeology & anthropology era, to the genesis of religion that influences art, culture & philosophy, and also the contribution of the warlords using the uniquely locally made weapon, and other stages of our development as a people……

The investment in the National Museum should be maintained through quality management as a sector that does not only generate revenue to national treasury but also attract investment to Ghana as the western Africa business hub.

TrIFA as stakeholder encourage investors to look in the direction of tourism as one timeless industrial sector that will never be outdated or go into extinction because it is a sustainable investment with competitive advantage for African investor.

The Executive Director, Mr. Bola Akinsanya, and some members of TrIFA visited Juapong in the Volta Region over the weekend to familiarize themselves with the farming community and it was amazing to discover the vast farmlands and other agricultural opportunities yet to be exploited. The Team’s first stop was at a rice plantation that is thriving excellently. The farmlands are close to a river which is huge merit because with the mechanical installation of pumps the farmlands can easily be irrigated all year round.
In TrIFA’s quest to increase economic opportunity for individuals and ensure Food security for Africa we encourage Investors and people with an interest in farming and other agricultural activities to venture into the area of Rice Farming. Rice consumption continues to increase due to population growth, urbanization, and change in consumer habits. According to statistics from MoFA, between 2008 and 2020, paddy rice production was in the range of 302,000 MT and 987,000 MT (181,000 to 622,000 MT of milled rice) with large annual fluctuations The total rice consumption in 2020 amounted to about 1,450,000 MT which is equivalent to per capita consumption of about 45.0kg per annum. Ghana depends largely on imported rice to make up for the deficit in domestic rice supply and this is an area that investors can take advantage of.
