加纳是非洲服装制造业的主要枢纽

Ghana to be top African apparel manufacturing hub: Minister

Ghana will turn Africa’s leading apparel manufacturing hub after the trade and industry ministry implements the industrial transformation agenda, Alan John K Kyerematen, minister handling the portfolio, said recently at the launch of the Association of Ghana Apparel Manufacturers (AGAM). The sector will significantly transform the nation’s industry, he said.

AGAM is a business network and advocacy organization comprising 13 Ghanaian apparel businesses exporting more than $12 million worth of clothes each year and employs over 2,000 workers with the potential of growing its workforce to 20,000 employees by December 2018.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Export and Import Bank (Eximbank) has announced a $10-million investment support for apparel manufacturers in Ghana as part of its efforts to support the government’s industrialisation initiatives, according to media reports from Ghana. (DS)

与此同时，加纳的媒体报道称，加纳进出口银行已宣布向加纳的服装制造商提供1000万美元的投资支持，作为其支持政府工业化举措的一部分。
