Elmina fish processing plant takes shape

Elmina is a town and the capital of the Komenda/Edina/Eguafo/Abirem District on the south coast of South Ghana in the Central Region, situated on a south-facing bay on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Ghana, 12 km (7.5 mi) west of Cape Coast. Elmina is the first European settlement in West Africa and it has a population of over 36,000 people.

As part of the fair distribution of the national cake promise by the president, the people of Elmina, one of the oldest fishing communities in Ghana are receiving a fish processing plant to help reduce the losses as a result of a lack of a processing plant in the past. This plant will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs for the people in and outside Elmina. It is expected to be commissioned in October this year. Similar fish processing plants are ongoing in other coastal communities of the country and are expected to be finished soon.
