President Nana Akufo-Addo has said Ghana’s akpeteshie, a local brew, can compete on any international market due to its pleasant packaging.
“I doubt that anyone would, ordinarily, mention akpeteshie, the local gin, as a possible item on the world market. I cannot vouch for its taste or potency, since I gave up alcohol many years ago, but I can say that the Made-in-Ghana and beautifully packaged ‘apio’, I have recently seen, can compete in the most sophisticated markets in the world”, the President said in his inaugural address after having been sworn into office for a second four-year term.
