22nd January 2026
The Government of Ghana has reiterated its commitment to ongoing engagement with cement manufacturers to ensure fair and stable prices for consumers, as part of broader efforts to strengthen cooperation across the construction value chain.
The assurance was given by the Minister of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, on Monday, January 19, 2026, following a meeting with key stakeholders in the cement manufacturing industry to address pricing concerns and other sector-related issues.
According to the minister, discussions revealed the willingness of manufacturers to work closely with government to promote price fairness and comply fully with existing regulations.
“We want to assure the general public that industry players are ready and willing to work with government to ensure that cement prices remain fair,” she said.
She commended the manufacturers for their commitment to lawful operations and their openness in engaging government on factors influencing cement prices.
“I also want to commend them for assuring us of their compliance with the law, and for agreeing to promptly communicate any challenges—beyond foreign exchange fluctuations—that may affect pricing, so that together we can determine the most appropriate solutions,” the minister added.
Ms Ofosu-Adjare noted that sustained dialogue between government and industry players is expected to improve transparency, reduce market uncertainty, protect consumer interests, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the cement industry.
The engagement forms part of the government’s broader strategy to stabilise prices in key sectors of the economy while supporting growth within the construction industry.
