The Precious Minerals Marketing Company Limited (PMMC) has revealed plans to leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to drive value addition in the coming year, 2024.
Nana Akwasi Awuah, Managing Director of PMMC, shared the company's strategic vision during the 2023 Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, part of the year-end activities to express gratitude.
To promote made-in-Ghana products, PMMC has invested in machinery, including a 3D printer and software, to produce sophisticated jewellery.
The 3D printer and software enable the creation of intricate designs and prints, contributing to improved finishing for the Ghanaian market.
The goal is to maximize the potential of natural resources and enhance the value chain within the jewellery sector.
Nana Awuah highlighted the company's involvement in the government's flagship gold-for-oil program, noting that PMMC has been a key contributor to its success.
The gold-for-oil initiative has positively impacted the lives of ordinary Ghanaians.
As part of its expansion drive, PMMC has operational offices in Kumasi and Tarkwa, with another office in Bole set to be fully operational by January 2024.
The company is also exploring social re-engineering initiatives to encourage Ghanaians to view jewellery as a store of value.
Nana Awuah expressed gratitude to the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, the Deputy Minister, and the entire Board, Management, and Staff for their support throughout the year.
The strategic focus on value addition and the utilization of AfCFTA align with PMMC's commitment to fostering economic growth and enhancing the role of Ghana in the global market.
