Documentary - Forging the Future: Ghana’s Journey to an Integrated Aluminium Industry
A fully integrated aluminium industry could make Ghana a true industrial powerhouse in Africa. Instead of just extracting and shipping raw bauxite, Ghana could become a hub for aluminium manufacturing, exports, and innovation. By processing bauxite into alumina and then aluminium locally, we can create new industries, reduce dependence on imports, and unlock billions in economic growth.
