Frequently Asked Question

  • What are the requirements for an Agro-factory that wants to export into the AfCFTA market ?
    Once your factory achieves 60% local value addition, your products can be exported to any of the 54 African nations duty-free via the Accra-based AfCFTA Secretariat.
  • What are the minimum capital requirements for a wholly foreign-owned agro-processing factory in 2026?
    You are no longer required to meet a blanket minimum capital threshold to enter the agro-processing sector. You only need to incorporate your company and register with the GIPA. This allows you to scale your capital investment naturally as your factory grows, rather than facing a high barrier to entry.
  • How does the "24-Hour Economy" policy specifically lower my factory's operational costs ?
    By adopting a three-shift production model under our PEO/HR management, your factory qualifies for a 50% corporate tax rebate. Additionally, you benefit from off-peak electricity tariffs, significantly reducing the energy costs of high-consumption machinery during night shifts. Our package includes registering your facility with the 24-Hour Economy Authority to trigger these incentives immediately.
  • Can I truly own the 50 acres of land provided in the investment package?
    The Answer for Investors: "Foreign entities cannot hold 'freehold' title but are granted 50-year renewable leaseholds. Our solution de-risks this by securing land within Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA) enclaves. This ensures the title is already 'vetted' by the government, protecting you from the customary land litigation common in private acquisitions.
  • What are the current restrictions on repatriating my agro-factory profits back home?
    Ghana guarantees 100% repatriation of profits and dividends. However, to transfer technical management fees or royalties, your Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) must be registered with the GIPA. Our package handles this registration as a core service, ensuring your bank can process international transfers without regulatory delays or tax penalties.
