The Chief Executive Officer of AsanSka Investments Ltd., producers and exporters of gold and diamond jewellery, Mr. Kwabena Asante-Asare says Ghana can compete effectively on the international jewellery market to rake in more foreign exchange to augment government’s noble quest for a better Ghana.
He noted that there is a growing desire for African history and culture by especially people of African descent in the Diaspora, and this has resulted in the emergence of a special taste and demand for African products. Mr. Asante-Asare said the jewellery industry should therefore be positioned to enable Ghana’s raw gold and jewellery exports take a fair share of that emerging international business. “Our resolve should be to make first class quality the hallmark of Ghana gold jewellery. This strategy will ensure that our export products stand out amongst the best in the world.” Mr. Kwabena Asante-Asare was contributing to discussions at the second annual Gold Statement exhibition in Accra under the theme, “Branding Ghana in Gold through Jewellery Production for Tourism and Export: the Way Forward.” The three-day exhibition which sought to build a common voice for jewellery producers and exporters, is a specialized fair of indigenous Ghanaian gold jewelry orgainsed by Rapport Services, under the auspices of the Ministries of Trade and Industry, PSD & PSI and Tourism and Diasporan Relations. The Association of Indigenous Miners and the Federation of Ghanaian Jewellers are collaborators. |
