Agriculture Minister Owusu Afriyie Akoto has promised support to Maphlix Trust Farms Limited, Ghana's largest potato exporter. The company, which is the country's largest potato grower and exporter, is seeking government assistance to improve its operational structures. The company, which started in 2013 and uses power plants and water from boreholes, is planning to connect to the Trans ECOWAS Highway and build a 250-tonne warehouse and potato processing plant, but needs to be connected to the electricity grid first. The company grows orange-fleshed sweet potatoes over more than 700 hectares.
