Campaign to influence bakers to use soy flour begins

 


The American Soybean Association's World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (ASA/WISHH) is set to continue the ‘Soy Flour for Bread & More’ campaign in Ghana this year. This campaign, in collaboration with Yedent Agro Group of Companies, aims to promote the use of soy flour in baking across Ghana. Developed and implemented by The Little Cow Consulting Limited, this year’s campaign kickstarts on 9th May 2023 and includes the second edition of the highly successful ‘Baking with Soy’ training program and a robust social media campaign.

The ‘Baking with Soy’ training program is designed to train commercial bakers on how to incorporate soy flour into their baking recipes. This results in baked goods that not only have a longer shelf life, but also an improved texture and nutritional value. The program will feature eight (8) training sessions held between May and December in four different areas of Ghana, including Accra, Tema, Sunyani, and Cape Coast.

Participants will engage in practical sessions on incorporating soy flour into their baking to create exciting new recipes. Additionally, consumers will have the opportunity to sample these soya-enhanced pastries at street sampling activations throughout the campaign.

Last year, the campaign successfully trained forty-one (41) bakers from six different regions in Ghana, and also included street sampling activations that reached over 2000 people nationwide.

Building on this success, the ‘Soy Flour for Bread & More’ campaign is set to continue to increase awareness of the nutritional benefits of soy flour and encourage its use in baking throughout Ghana with the regional trainings. It will be complemented by a vibrant social media awareness campaign on @everythingsoy – the official Facebook and Instagram campaign pages. So, get ready to discover the joy of soy in your baked goods!

Fitch Solutions retains 2025 growth rate projection at 4.2%

 Fitch Solutions has reaffirmed its projection that Ghana’s economy will expand by 4.2% in 2025. This estimate slightly exceeds the International Monetary Fund’s forecast of 4% and the World Bank’s projection of 3.9%. The UK-based research firm attributes its outlook to historically high gold prices, which are expected to cushion the Ghanaian economy against a global slowdown triggered by rising tariffs. Higher gold prices are anticipated to strengthen government revenue, enhance foreign exchange earnings, and help sustain currency stability. The report also highlights that Ghana is relatively less vulnerable to increasing trade restrictions from the United States, given that its primary exports—gold and crude oil—are not directly affected by the tariffs introduced by President Trump’s administration. Moreover, the US constitutes only about 4% to 5% of Ghana’s total exports. In contrast, Ghana’s trade relations are more heavily oriented toward China and European countries, particul...

BoG injects $20m into FX market to support 11 BDCs

  The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has injected $20 million into the foreign exchange market in the latest round of its forward FX auction targeted at Bulk Oil Distribution Companies (BDCs). The intervention, which benefited eleven BDCs, is part of the central bank’s broader strategy to stabilise the cedi and ensure price stability in the petroleum downstream sector. Held on Tuesday, April 29, the auction was priced at a locked exchange rate of GHS 14.28 to the US dollar, with bid offers ranging from GHS 13.85 to GHS 15.55. This move reflects the BoG’s continued effort to deepen forex liquidity and safeguard the domestic fuel supply chain against volatility in global energy markets. By directly supplying FX to BDCs, the central bank seeks to ease pressure on the interbank market, guarantee the uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, and mitigate the pass-through effects of exchange rate fluctuations on fuel prices. The $20 million disbursement forms part of a $120 million programme for th...
