The Tanoso pottery industry in Ghana's Ahafo Region, which has been operating for decades, requires increased investment, modern equipment, and government support to expand production and create more jobs. With a wide range of products including earthenware bowls, cups, flower pots, bricks, tiles, and other construction materials, the industry provides livelihoods for hundreds of residents, particularly young people, and supports businesses involved in clay extraction, processing, production, and marketing.
Artisan Mr Abubakhari Alhassan, who has spent 21 years in the trade, identified limited access to capital as the biggest challenge, restricting producers' ability to acquire modern machinery and expand operations. He also called for measures to reduce the industry's dependence on firewood for firing kilns and for the government to introduce policies promoting the use of locally manufactured clay products in construction projects.
