Akofa Edjeani, a filmmaker, Pan Africanist, and Executive of the Ghana Culture Forum, has advised Ghanaian textile manufacturers to lower the price of their goods.

She claims that by doing this, the market for textiles created in Ghana will develop and more employment possibilities will be generated.

She added, "I think the government would have to sit down with the textile makers and find a method for our textiles to be inexpensive," in an interview with Eunice Tornyi on the "African Women's Voices" program on e.tv Ghana.

Some Ghanaians purchase Chinese fabrics because they are less expensive than Ghanaian fabrics because we can't advertise made-in-Ghana products when they are expensive.

She noted that although Ghana also produces these fabrics, it is not benefiting as much as it is supposed.

“Textile producers in Ghana should be able to make the fabrics affordable so that we don’t t have to go and print in China for people to buy. That stuff coming into the country is the business for the Chinese and it keeps making them rich which makes our businesses here suffer,” she emphasized.

She believes that whatever the challenge might be, “they can come together and work on it so the money stays in Ghana and we create the wealth here instead of it going out".
