The discussion explored how policies, financing and market opportunities, as part of the 24-Hour Economy Strategy, the Feed Ghana Programme and the Grow24 initiative, could support Ghanaian agribusinesses. It also examined how these businesses can fully exploit the stable EU trade market through the EU-Ghana Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).
Moderated by Jimmy Eko-Acquah, Communications Manager for the EU-Ghana Agribusiness Platform under the European Chamber of Commerce, the panel featured a distinguished lineup of experts, including Dr. Georgina Pegu, Deputy Lead of Grow24 at the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat; representatives from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture; the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MoTAI); the Ghana Agribusiness Chamber; Golden Exotics Ltd; Deloitte; Eurocham Ghana; Kawa Moka; and Absa Bank.
Some of the topics highlighted in the discussion included information dissemination, access to finance, creating effective cooperatives, providing infrastructure to support the 24-Hour Economy Strategy, job creation and capacity building, and working closely with the EU and other international development agencies to achieve the set goals.
The panel discussion was both engaging and informative. The audience walked away with a better understanding of the 24-Hour Economy Strategy and Grow24. Afterwards, the moderator discussed the impact of the session with stakeholders, who provided positive feedback, particularly regarding how they could position their organizations to benefit from the 24-Hour Economy Strategy, Grow24 and the Feed Ghana Programme.
