Avnash Industries Ghana Limited, an agro-industrial processing company, has been presented with Silver Award at the Africa Business Awards Ceremony organised under the auspices of the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.
The award, which was organised by Top Brass Ghana, has been running annually since 2004, and is aimed at recognising and celebrating the contributions businesses make towards Ghana’s development through the promotion of trade and investment.
Expressing excitement after receiving the award on behalf of Avnash Industries Ghana Limited, David Adikah, Head of Marketing of the company, thanked the organisers for recognizing Avnash Industries and also complimenting the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in its deliberate strategy to promote intra-African trade through diplomacy.
There cannot be a better time than now, he said.
Avnash Industries Ghana Limited is well known for its manufacture of edible oil, rice, soaps, detergents and packaging and branding of its products, including PET and hard plastic containers moulding.
The company established a rice-mill in Tamale with a capacity of 450mt per day.
It’s a fully automated mill of Buhler make, capable of milling par-boiled and straight milled white and brown rice.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Mohammed Habibu Tijani, who spoke at the ceremony in Accra themed, “Accelerating Ghana’s Economic Development through Increased Intra-African Trade and Investment,” congratulated the company for its hard work.
He said the programme underscores the importance of intra-Africa trade and investment in the development of Africa countries, particularly Ghana.
