Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, Ghana's Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister, has urged Ghanaian exporters to prioritise compliance with global standards and quality requirements, saying increased production alone cannot guarantee success in international markets. She noted that food safety, traceability, certification, packaging, and quality standards are essential for competing under market access arrangements like the African Continental Free Trade Area.

The government is working to develop Ghana's horticulture sector as a driver of export growth, with efforts to improve production, processing, certification and market access. The Trade Minister said non-traditional exports exceeded US$5 billion in 2025 and highlighted an approved agribusiness policy aimed at addressing supply, financing, value addition and market access challenges.
The Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Exporters president has called for increased investment in horticulture, highlighting Ghana's position as the world's leading yam exporter and its potential to generate substantial export revenue from mangoes, particularly given the country's ability to harvest in two seasons. The call comes ahead of the Ghana International Horticulture Expo scheduled for September 2026.
The third Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026 has been launched in Accra with a theme of "From Soil to Sovereignty: Building Ghana's Agricultural Self-Reliance." The President of the Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Exporters said the expo aims to strengthen partnerships among government, the private sector, farmers and exporters to build Ghana's capacity to feed its population, supply industries, reduce import dependence, create jobs and compete in global markets.
Ghana has natural advantages—fertile soils and year-round production capacity—to become a leading African horticultural hub as global demand for tropical fruits and vegetables rises, yet currently exports only a fraction of potential market volumes despite producing internationally recognised crops like pineapples, mangoes and avocados.
Global trade in tropical fruits reached nearly 11 million tonnes in 2023, driven by rising demand for pineapples, mangoes, avocados and papayas. Ghana possesses natural advantages to become a leading horticultural hub but currently exports only a fraction of what the global market can absorb, constrained by irrigation, post-harvest losses, and cold-chain infrastructure challenges.
