Facility Tour

As part of their familiarization tour, the delegation visited Jekora Ventures Limited on the 22nd and 23rd of May. On the 22nd of May, the team visited the JVL Fortifer Compost Plant at Borteyman.

The Innovations Manager, Martha Adjoa Annan, explained how the facility converts both solid and liquid waste into compost. She explained that the facility receives 12,500 m³ of sludge and 700 tonnes of food waste annually and through the use of low-cost appropriate technology, converts this to compost.

She further cited the plant as a proven concept of the circular economic model in Ghana worthy of replication.
