The major occupation of the people in the area is gari processing and the produce is sold at nearby market centres.
The donation was made in response to a request made by the gari producers when the DCE met and interacted with them sometime ago.
Presentation
Mr Aidoo-Mensah said that the machines were to assist them to package their produce to make it attractive to buyers.
He also said under a Rural Enterprises Programme established by the government with support from the Business Advisory Centre (BAC), which is in all districts across the country, small and medium-scale enterprises would be supported to grow their businesses.
He added that the government would continue to support the private sector because it was the engine of growth and the backbone of the economy.
He urged the beneficiaries to manage and take stock of their business to evaluate its performance.
He further urged them to take proper care of the machines so they can last for a long time and keep them in business.
