The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) and DMT Collateral Management Limited have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to construct a 21,000-tonne grain storage facility in Wa, Upper West Region. This agreement, signed on November 3, 2026, aims to expand the country's grain storage capacity and reduce post-harvest losses as part of the Feed Ghana Programme.
The facility will serve as a food security hub, providing strategic grain reserves during shortages and emergencies. MoFA Minister Eric Opoku praised DMT and the Danish Embassy for their support, while DMT CEO Paul Sannie Minlah revealed the project will include an emergency grain reserve system, the Hospital Bin, to ensure food availability during national crises.
The project will be supported by a €4.8 million export credit from the Danish Embassy and an additional €5 million investment. In addition to its storage function, the facility will offer training opportunities for National Service personnel, Feed Ghana Brigade members, and Ghanaian technicians in silo operations, grain handling, and maintenance. The project is on track to be completed and commissioned by August 2027.
