The Vice President, John Dramani Mahama has reiterated that, Ghana is the best place to invest and to reach the over 240 million people living in the West African sub-region. He said Ghana is at the centre of the sub-region and has the necessary regulatory framework to make investors enjoy their dividends. Mr. Mahama said this when the Chief Executive Officer of Dias Branco, Francisco Ivens de Sa Dias Branco led officials from the company to call on him at the castle, Osu. The visit follows the heels of the Vice President’s recent visit to Brazil some months ago.
Dais Branco Group of companies is a leading biscuit and pasta manufacturing companies in Brazil. The company wants to establish its headquarters in Africa and its considering Ghana as their hub. When Dais Branco finally decides on Ghana the company will set up over four hundred million US dollars biscuit and pasta factory and that will create about one thousand jobs for Ghanaians.
The delegation was in the country for a four day official visit to study the viability of establishing the biscuit and pasta factory and also to explore other areas of investment interest.
Mr. Mahama said "Africans in general and Ghanaians in particular eat biscuits, pasta, and bread everyday, and so any investor who will establish a processing plant in the sub-region to process wheat into flour and subsequently to their bi-products will definitely be in good business."
The Chief Executive Officer of Dais Branco, Francisco Ivens de Sa Dias Branco said their company is positioned to do good business in Africa.
He commended Ghana for their openness and forthright and said they will make their decision when they return to Brazil.
