Terra Industries says it is building Africa’s largest drone factory in Ghana
- Terra Industries is building a 34,000-square-foot drone factory in Accra, Ghana, which will be the largest in Africa upon completion.
- The new facility, Pax-2, will more than double the size of Terra's existing factory in Abuja, Nigeria.
- Pax-2 aims to produce 50,000 drones annually by 2028, addressing the rising drone warfare threat in the Sahel.
The establishment of the Pax-2 factory represents a significant step towards enhancing Africa's self-reliance in defence technology. However, the challenge remains in securing government contracts and competing with established foreign suppliers. The success of Terra Industries could pave the way for a new era of indigenous defence manufacturing in Africa, but it will require strategic partnerships and a robust marketing approach.
