Abstract In Ghana, the north lags behind the south in industrial development. This is a consequence of direct and indirect national industrial policy, practice and performance. Recent industrial policy reorientation include the promotion of small and medium-sized industry and entrepreneur development. This paper gives an appraisal of the entrepreneur potential in the north based on a survey of existing small-scale industrialists. Resources for investment, entrepreneurial qualities and the perspectives in the area were found to be inadequate. In a rather unfavourable business environment, small-scale industry development seemed to offer high prospects for the industrialization of the rural agrarian, industry - deficiency north in Ghana. The paper therefore advocates a small-scale oriented, entrepreneur-centred industrialization strategy for northern Ghana.
