The mining company, AngloGold Ashanti (AGA), has rolled out a deliberate policy to grow the Obuasi local economy through the promotion of made-in-Ghana goods, exhibiting same and creating jobs.
It is under the company's Social Management Plan policy through an annual trade fair.
This year's trade fair, which is the third in the series, is on the theme: "Diversifying the economy of Obuasi through trade promotion."
The six-day trade fair, being done in collaboration with the Obuasi East District Assembly, Obuasi Municipal Assembly and the National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI).
This year's edition is intended to focus more on other sectors rather than the mine as it pushes for diversifying the local Obuasi economy.
