The Managing Director of Papaye, Mr Emmanuel Tefe, said per the policy of the company, 60 per cent of the work force was from the community which was aimed at curbing unemployment in Frafraha and its environs.

He stated that the opening of the branch was in response to the increase of concern of people within the community to provide them with their share of Papaye.
