Industry in Ghana accounts for about 24.5% of total GDP.[1] However, Ghana's industrial production is rising at a 7.8% rate, giving it the 38th fastest growing industrial production in the world[2] due to government industrialization policies.
Ghana's most important manufacturing industries include electronics manufacturing, car manufacturing, electric car manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, light manufacturing, aluminum smelting, food processing, cement, and small commercial ship building. A relatively small glass-making industry has also developed due to the high-quality sand available from the Tarkwa mining area. The foreign capital has increased in recent years. Most products are for local consumption and exportation.
Other industries include the production of food and beverages, textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and the processing of metals and wood products.
