the Tano and Bia rivers. The total population at the last census was 572,020.
There are five major towns including the capital of Sefwi Wiawso, home of the
King’s Palace. There are two colleges in the kingdom: Wiawso College of
Education and Asafo Health Care College. English and Akan Twi are the languages.
Sefwi is the agricultural powerhouse of Ghana and the area is known for export
of cocoa, cassava and other agricultural products. It is also home to natural
resources such as gold, bauxite and timber. With cocoa farming as a main
occupation of the people, Sefwi produces two thirds of Ghana’s cocoa. The Sefwi
land is great for investment and development given that is blessed with almost
all the natural resources of Ghana.
