Mrs. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, says the One-District-One-Factory (1D1F) Programme, a flagship initiative of the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, has been cancelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Speaker, I want to draw the House\u2019s attention to the fact that as of now, there is no policy as 1D1F,\u201d she said on Tuesday on the Floor of Parliament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The minister explained that the ministry was now focusing on agro-processing parks under the 24-hour economy policy, which aimed to make Ghana\u2019s economy vibrant around the clock.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Speaker, we are doing agro-parks, which seek to be a great game changer, especially in the agro-processing zones\u2026 to produce around the clock for import substitution, export, foreign exchange, and to create jobs for our teeming youth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mrs. Ofosu-Adjare made the remarks when she answered an urgent question by Mr Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The MP, also the Minority Leader, asked the Minister about specific incentives and investment promotion packages being deployed to attract private sector investment, given the cancellation of the 1D1F.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The minister noted that the policy for the 24-hour economy, which included investment packages, was under review and would be presented to Parliament when completed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked about transitional measures following the cancellation of 1D1F, the minister said the ministry was in talks with stakeholders and looking at the fallout from the cancellation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, she attributed the cancellation to the previous administration, stating:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I did not cancel the policy, I would not be in a position to give reasons why remedial measures were not given before the cancellation,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
