Mr. Adu Darkwa thanked the chiefs and the people of Anum for voting 85% for him and his presidential candidate during the 2016 general elections and promised to continue to support them.
Mr. Jerry Afful, the CEO of Nkukuninkaka Farms appreciated the effort of NANA KWASI ANYANE the ADONTENGHENE of Anum for providing 300 acres of land for the project as well as EXIM BANK for the support.
He added that the cassava will be supplied directly to CALTEC at Ho for the production of starch as well as to pharmaceuticals and alcoholic industries in Ghana.
