The Chief Executive Officer of Royal Vina Foods, Madam Davina Sheila Mensah, has urged Ghanaians to patronize locally manufactured food products to help in building a stable and robust local economy.
According to her, importing basic foods such as rice creates a huge challenge as the country spends a significant amount of foreign exchange in such endeavours.
“We import a lot of foreign rice and it cost us a lot. It is also a contributive factor for the high exchange rate because we have to change the money to other currencies and it makes our economy a bit unstable. Let’s advocate for made-in-Ghana foods,” she stated.
She said this during the official launch of Royal Vina Foods outlet and some Made-In-Ghana products to support the ‘Eat Ghana’ initiative launched by the Ghana Tourism Authority.
Ms. Mensah appealed to state officials to publicly support the patronage of ‘made-in-Ghana Products’.
She says her strong desire to contribute to the growth of the country birthed the Royal Vina Foods.
She said Royal Vina Foods has contributed to the local market with pure local products that have no additives, making them healthy for everyone.
Madam Mensah urged financial institutions to support local manufacturers to help create jobs.
According to her, she hopes to extend the business to encourage more Ghanaians that locally made products have a space in the local market.
She thus urged Ghanaians to support her by purchasing the products .
Royal Vina food deals in the production of Ghana brown rice, Ghana white rice, Pure honey, brown sugar and coconut oil.
