Ghana’ campaign to encourage Ghanaians to patronize our locally made products
and invest in them. My first encounter with Kasapreko was in 2000, but now the
brand is a household name in Africa and beyond. The Government is ever ready to
back Kasapreko and provide all the support they need to grow.”Mahama noted.
