Ghana secured the removal of restrictions on the export of eggs to Burkina Faso and the importation of tomatoes from the neighboring country following bilateral talks aimed at strengthening trade relations. This breakthrough was reached after a high-level Ghanaian delegation, led by the Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, and the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, held discussions with Burkinabe authorities on Friday, July 17.

The restrictions were introduced by Burkinabe authorities as a precautionary measure over quality concerns regarding eggs imported from some exporting countries. As part of the agreement, Ghana and Burkina Faso will establish a Joint Technical Committee to facilitate smooth trade and swiftly address any future trade-related concerns. The two countries also agreed to work towards the signing of a Bilateral Trade Agreement.
