Coca-Cola is preparing to announce a new investment drive in Ghana, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the market as government steps up efforts to attract multinational capital.
A delegation from the company’s West Africa, Morocco and Algeria (WAMA) region disclosed the plans during a meeting in Accra with Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare. The formal announcement is expected at a conference in the capital from May 6 to 8, where regional and global executives will convene.
During the meeting, WAMA Communications Director David Appiah highlighted the firm’s confidence in Ghana’s business environment and called for closer coordination across government agencies to support investment.
“The central role of your Ministry in Ghana’s investment agenda is key to ensuring success, and we believe your leadership can create the right environment for Coca-Cola’s growth in the country,” Mr. Appiah indicated. He said the company’s operations contributed 1.28 billion cedis to Ghana’s economy in 2024 and have created thousands of jobs, underscoring its expanding footprint.
The planned investment comes as Ghana positions itself as a regional hub for manufacturing and distribution, leveraging its relative stability and access to West African markets. Responding to the announcement, Ofosu-Adjare said Ghana remains an attractive destination for investors seeking a base on the continent.
“If you are investing in Africa, Ghana can be your base,” she stated. Separately, a delegation from the International Chamber of Commerce met the minister to discuss preparations for the second African Sustainable Supply Chain Summit, scheduled for October 12 to 13 in Tema.
ICC Secretary-General Emmanuel Dhoni-Kwame said the summit will focus on strengthening supply chains and building economic resilience across the continent. The minister said the government would continue working with the ICC to advance sustainable trade facilitation and investment, as Ghana seeks to deepen its role in regional and global supply networks.
