PE Crowd Funding is launching a strategic agricultural investment opportunity designed specifically for diaspora investors: a large-scale cocoa plantation project covering 50,000 acres of fertile land. This initiative offers a rare chance to participate in Ghana’s thriving cocoa sector, with only 20 investor slots available.

The project focuses on the cultivation of premium cocoa, leveraging Ghana’s global reputation as a leading cocoa producer. A ready market is already secured, ensuring consistent demand and profitable returns for all participants. Investors will benefit from direct government support, including the provision of certified cocoa seedlings and ongoing technical assistance from experienced cocoa extension professionals.

Structured under a crowd funding model, the initiative promotes transparency, shared risk, and collective growth. It aligns with national development goals and offers diaspora investors a meaningful way to contribute to rural transformation while building sustainable wealth.

With strategic partnerships in place and expert guidance throughout the cultivation process, this project represents a high-impact investment opportunity in one of Ghana’s most valuable export sectors.

The Commercial Division of the Accra High Court has awarded over US$1.1 million in damages to Ghanaian real estate developer Blue Rose Limited after ruling that Shelter Afrique breached a housing finance agreement.

The court, presided over by Justice Samuel Djanie Kotey, found that despite Blue Rose fulfilling all contractual obligations, including injecting its full equity and meeting pre-disbursement conditions, Shelter Afrique failed to release a US$5.2 million loan agreed upon in 2016 for a 170-unit housing project. The delay in disbursement led to a 17-month setback during the project’s 36-month moratorium.

The State Housing Company Limited (SHCL) has commissioned the Seasons Court Annex, a 9-unit housing facility comprising two- and three-bedroom apartments in Adenta, Accra, as part of efforts to reduce Ghana's housing deficit. The project includes master bedrooms, toilets, bathrooms, and kitchens.

At the ceremony, SHCL Managing Director John S. Bawah emphasized the importance of completing abandoned housing projects before starting new ones, stressing that such continuity would ensure efficient use of taxpayer funds. He reiterated SHCL’s commitment, in line with President John Dramani Mahama’s vision, to prioritize the completion of stalled projects across the country.

In a major move to stabilize its ailing property market, China has announced the creation of a 200 billion yuan (approximately $28 billion) state-backed fund to support the completion of stalled housing projects across the country. The fund, led by the China Construction Bank and supported by the People's Bank of China, aims to restore confidence in the sector and protect homebuyers who have been left in limbo due to unfinished developments.

The initiative comes amid growing public frustration and economic pressure caused by the debt crisis in major property firms such as Evergrande and Country Garden. By injecting liquidity into selected projects, the Chinese government hopes to reignite construction activity, prevent a deeper financial contagion, and safeguard social stability.

Analysts see this as one of Beijing’s boldest interventions in the real estate sector in recent years, signaling a shift toward more direct state involvement in ensuring housing delivery and economic recovery.
