Government commissions $3.5m new agriculture fertiliser plant

 


Government has officially commissioned Invess Agriculture Ghana Ltd’s state-of-the-art fertiliser manufacturing plant.

The ceremony, held on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at Shai Hills where the facility is located was attended by dignitaries from the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, as well as executives of Invess Agriculture Ghana Ltd.

The plant is the result of a strategic partnership between Invess Agriculture Ghana Ltd and the globally respected Nitron Group, the world’s second-largest trader in agricultural fertilizers.

Speaking at the event, Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister,  Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare commended Invess Agriculture Ghana Ltd for its role in fertiliser supply since its establishment in 2017, noting that the new facility will significantly scale up the company’s capacity.

Notably, during the 2023-2024 Cocoa Season, INVESS, through its own network and strategic partnerships, delivered 50,000 metric tonnes of fertilizer to COCOBOD, ensuring Ghana’s cocoa sector remains globally competitive.

“Now, with this new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, INVESS is stepping boldly into the future. The plant has the capacity to produce 385,000 metric tonnes of granular fertilizer and 5 million litres of liquid fertilizer annually all operating under a multi-shift, 24-hour economy model, perfectly aligned with His Excellency’s policy direction to boost national productivity through round-the-clock economic activity,” she said.

Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare also highlighted the plant’s advanced blending technology, which can produce 20 distinct formulations approved by COCOBOD, tailored to boost productivity and help farmers double their yields.

What sets this plant apart is its advanced blending technology, capable of producing 20 distinct formulations, specifically tailored and approved by COCOBOD. These formulations incorporate essential micronutrients like boron, zinc, molybdenum, sulfur, calcium all crucial for soil enrichment and yield improvement. With this, we are empowering our hardworking farmers to more than double their yields from 1 metric tonne per hectare to up to 2.5 metric tonnes and doing so sustainably,” the minister added.

Chief Executive Officer of Invess Agriculture Ghana Ltd, Patrick Ohene-Djan, on his part said the company will continue to innovate and develop additional manufacturing plants to further support the needs of farmers.
