Plant Manager of Bui Cashew Limited, Wu Yun Ling, has disclosed that the factory’s products will be distributed to the global market, encompassing China, the United States, and Europe.
Furthermore, he emphasized that residents of the Bui enclave and people throughout Ghana would have access to their products for purchase at any time.
Speaking to GhanaWeb’s Ernestina Serwaa Asante on BizTech programme, Mr Ling, while talking about their target market said, “It depends. Some sellers in other countries contact us. We’ll sell to the locals, some will go abroad; maybe Europe, America and some to China.”
Additionally, Wu Yun Ling mentioned that the factory processes between 6 to 8 tonnes of cashews daily.
When discussing the rapport with local employees, the plant manager affirmed that it was highly favorable, with workers receiving competitive compensation.
In a similar vein, Eric Opoku Acheampong, Deputy Director of Lands and Impact at Bui Power Authority, emphasized that job creation for the substantial number of unemployed youth in the Bui region aligns with BPA’s vision.
He said, “That’s the main intent for the investment we are bringing…the plant itself at full operation will be able to employ about 250 people. So far, 25 people are working in term of the seeds that we have gotten from the local people…”
Mr. Opoku Acheampong underscored that these employees will receive fair treatment and will not face any unfair practices from their Chinese counterparts.
