Government To Fight Smuggling, Counterfeiting And Piracy – Minister Of Trade & Industry

Mr Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Trade and Industry, has renewed government’s commitment to provide tax incentives to manufacturing companies that make use of local raw materials. He said government will also strengthen its security network to fight the menace of smuggling, counterfeiting and piracy as a protection to the local manufacturing companies. Mr Iddrisu gave the assurance when he launched the new Distell Ghana Brewery Plant in Tema.

Distell Ghana Limited are the distillers of Hunters’Gold and Savannah Dry Cider Beer, Knights and a Royal Reserve Whiskies, Amarula, wines, Brandys and gin across the continent and beyond.

The establishment of the plant in Ghana is an indication that those beverages will no longer be imported from South Africa, but will be produced in Ghana to serve the West African market.
