In Bia, President Akufo-Addo proceeded with the construction of a prefabricated warehouse of 1,000 metric tons, as part of the "One District, One Warehouse" initiative.

Once completed, the warehouse should not only reduce post-harvest losses, but also encourage farmers to increase production, create market linkages, stabilize prices for farmers and increase their incomes.

In addition, this intervention will create jobs, ensure a continuous flow of agricultural products to the market in the locality and across the country.
The warehouse has ancillary facilities such as a desk and a laboratory, chain link fences with a sentry box, a water supply system and a grain dryer fed to the Solar energy, among others.

In the Northwest region, five warehouses are to be built in Bekwai, Bibiani-Awhiaso-Bekwai District; Abonedua to SefwiWiawso; Juaboso in the Juaboso district; Essam in the district of Bia West; and Dadieso to Suaman.
