Mr Emmanuel Ampofo, Volta Regional Manager of the Foundation told the Ghana News Agency when he gave his impressions about the Fair. The main attraction at the stand was the fruit juice extraction machine from which many patrons were served with samples of chilled fruit juice. Mr Ampofo said the Foundation had the capacity to produce any machine on request. "You could come with your own idea of the machine you want and we would design and produce for you", he said.
