The introduction of the 1D1F by the government has seen many factories being established, others are also being revamped and expansion of some existing factories. Many businessmen have taken this opportunity to create employment for the youth.
The Asantehene, Otumfou Osei Tutu II has also taken this opportunity and he is establishing a factory under the 1D1F at Sabin Akrofuom in the Ashanti region. The factory will process fruits into fruit concentrates. The major fruits to be process are mango and pineapple. The mango will come from his mango farm at Nkronza and some will be bought from other farmers.
The factory is expected to provide 100 direct jobs and 300 indirect jobs when completed. This is the first project. The factory will be complete very soon and start to operate.
