    Ghana is making a decisive move to position itself as a regional hub for agricultural machinery production, as part of its broader agenda to modernize agriculture and reduce reliance on imported equipment.

    Minister of Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, is leading the charge, using his working visit to Turkey to court leading tractor manufacturer Hattat Traktör to establish an assembly plant in Ghana.

    The visit to Hattat Traktör’s state-of-the-art production facility in Istanbul forms part of Ghana’s strategic effort to attract agro-industrial investments and build local capacity in farm mechanization.

    With an annual production output of 2,500 tractors and a workforce of over 3,000, Hattat Traktör has earned global recognition for producing rugged, easy-to-use tractors suited for smallholder farmers, a key demographic in Ghana’s agricultural landscape.

    Minister Opoku, accompanied by technical adviser Kwasi Etu-Bonde, engaged directly with the manufacturer’s leadership to discuss a potential partnership that would see Ghana host an assembly plant for Hattat tractors.

    The minister also inspected and tested the tractors, emphasising Ghana’s need for durable, mechanically operated equipment designed to thrive in Africa’s diverse farming conditions.

    “The goal is not just to import tractors,” Minister Opoku stated. “It is to build a local industry that can assemble, maintain, and eventually manufacture the equipment our farmers need right here in Ghana.”

    In a significant development, Hattat Traktör agreed to provide technical assistance to Ghanaian firm 10G Globaltech Ltd, which is expected to spearhead the local partnership with the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

    The planned assembly plant, once operational, will enhance Ghana’s capacity to supply affordable and locally assembled tractors to farmers while reducing the country’s dependence on imported machinery.

    The collaboration is a key pillar of the Ministry’s Farmer Service Centre initiative, which aims to improve access to farm equipment, boost productivity, and create employment along the agricultural value chain.

    Hattat Traktör expressed enthusiasm about entering the Ghanaian market and underscored its commitment to supporting Africa’s agricultural transformation through innovation and technology transfer.

    This initiative marks a bold step in Ghana’s journey towards self-reliance in agricultural mechanization and lays the groundwork for deeper industrial cooperation between Ghana and Turkey.
