The awards slated for Saturday, January 6 at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Kumasi, will provide a platform to improve Ghana herbal products and create awareness, loyalty, recognition and prestige for herbal products in the country.
The Public Relations Officer of Nyamedua herbal and foundation, Michael Boateng, PRO said the event would promote locally made products to consumers and facilitate the discovery of new and life-saving products.
“We know that in Ghana the conditions for start-ups are not conducive but there are still people who defy the odds and we think it’s time we recognise and reward these people. Setting up a business has never been easy but we need to encourage the youth to go into entrepreneurship. It’s about time Ghana also sits up to appreciate our products,” he said.
He added that the award will boost the profile of made in Ghana products as well as expose them to the wider Ghanaian populace. He also called on other agencies and the ministries to support such initiatives to encourage more people to venture into herbal medicine.
Specific products that are adjudged by the consuming public as embodying the highest standards of quality will receive the Best Product Awards.
