Nana Kwaku Agyemang has stated that Ghana stands to gain significant industrial benefits if the cultivation of cannabis is fully legalized and properly regulated.
Speaking on Ikulcha Radio/Ikulcha TV with host Kwesi E Baako, he argued that the controlled growing of cannabis, particularly industrial hemp, could open doors to new economic opportunities.
According to him, beyond recreational debates, cannabis has wide-ranging industrial applications, including in pharmaceuticals, textiles, cosmetics, paper production, and construction materials. He noted that several countries are already leveraging hemp for large-scale manufacturing and export, creating jobs and boosting revenue.
Nana Agyemang emphasized that with the right legal framework, Ghana could attract investment, stimulate agro-processing industries, and diversify its economy. He added that farmers could benefit from an alternative cash crop, provided the industry is strictly monitored to prevent abuse.
