On 5th May 2026, the Western/Central Regional Branch of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) conducted working visits to KEDA (Ghana) Ceramics Company Limited and Plot Enterprise Ghana Limited as part of its ongoing engagement with member companies.
The visit was led by Regional Chairman Mr. J.C. Garbrah, followed by Regional Treasurer Madam Lilian Sowah, and supported by Regional Executives Mr. Edward Howard and Mr. Leo Amenakpor, together with staff from the Secretariat. The delegation was received at both companies by their respective management teams.
KEDA (Ghana) Ceramics Company Limited
KEDA operates on a 400-acre site with a USD 300 million investment, producing ceramic tiles and sanitary ware across six lines with a daily capacity of 200,000 square meters and 4,000 pieces. It sources 100% of its clay raw materials locally and employs about 4,500 Ghanaians directly, supporting over 10,000 indirect jobs. Around 90% of staff live in on-site accommodation, with plans for a dedicated employee villa.
Its flagship brand, Twyford, holds an estimated 45% share of Ghana’s tile market and exports across West Africa and to Spain, the U.S., Mexico, France, and Italy. Management also plans to establish a glass manufacturing plant to expand local industrial capacity. KEDA advances skills and community welfare through technology transfer, scholarships, Chinese language training, healthcare, zero wastewater discharge, and social programs.
Key Issues:
1. 24-Hour Economy Policy – Request for clarity on implementation and industry impact.
2. Exchange Rate Effects – Cedi appreciation has not offset rising costs and declining revenues.
3. Unfair Competition – Under-declaration of benchmark values and unregistered tiles entering through ports are distorting the market.
KEDA urged AGI to intensify advocacy to address these challenges and improve industry profitability.
Plot Enterprise Ghana Limited
Plot Enterprise processes semi-finished cocoa products — cocoa liquor, butter, and cake — with plans to expand into cocoa powder. It operates a dual-zone system to ensure food safety and is certified under ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and BRC, making it one of Ghana’s first indigenous processors with international certification. The company serves over 40 international customers and runs a 24-hour production system with a young workforce.
Its CSR initiatives include support for Farmers’ Day, donations to Essikado District Hospital, medical fundraising, sustainable cocoa farming, and premium payments to farmers. Plot Enterprise aims to build an African-led global cocoa processing industry anchored on quality and sustainability.
Key Issues:
1. High Cost of Utilities – Monthly electricity bills range between USD 50,000–100,000 despite no production expansion.
2. Raw Material Constraints – Difficulty securing consistent cocoa bean supply.
3. High Cost of Financing – Limited access to affordable credit is raising operational costs.
Plot Enterprise also called on AGI to deepen advocacy to create a more enabling industrial environment.
Despite prevailing challenges, both companies demonstrate resilience, innovation, and strong contributions to employment and industrial growth. AGI reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for improved conditions in energy pricing, raw material supply, and access to affordable financing, and thanked both managements for their hospitality
