Already home to several commercial pineapple farms and numerous small-scale holdings, the district is leveraging its favorable climatic conditions, rich soil texture, and chemical composition to drive growth in this lucrative sector.

The abundance of readily available land, offered on both short- and long-term lease, provides investors and farmers with unmatched opportunities to expand cultivation. Accessibility is another advantage, as most of these farmlands are strategically located to ease the transport of fresh and perishable goods to markets across Ghana and beyond.

Beyond pineapple, Akatsi North boasts immense potential in rice and sugarcane farming, chili pepper production, and commercial mango cultivation, all supported by the district’s fertile soils and favorable environment. The area also holds untapped industrial prospects, including the exploitation of clay deposits for ceramics and construction, as well as the establishment and upgrading of machine shops to support agro-processing and local manufacturing. With this diverse portfolio of opportunities, Akatsi North is not only charting a path toward agricultural dominance but also laying the foundation for industrial growth and rural development.

The district’s vision is clear: to harness its natural resources, attract investment, and become a beacon of prosperity in the Volta Region. As pineapple cultivation takes center stage, Akatsi North is poised to deliver jobs, boost food security, and create a thriving agro-industrial hub that will benefit generations to come.
