Ghana Has Capacity to Feed Itself, Compete Globally - FAGE President
Davies Narh Korboe, President of the Federation of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE), underscored Ghana's potential to achieve food self-sufficiency and become a competitive force in global agriculture, speaking ahead of the third edition of the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026. According to Mr. Korboe: "Ghana possesses the land, the people, the climate, and the potential to feed itself and compete globally. Agricultural self-reliance is not merely an economic ambition; it is a national responsibility."
The Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026 is scheduled for June 11 to 13 at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra. The Expo is expected to bring together key stakeholders across the agricultural value chain, including farmers, exporters, agribusinesses, investors, researchers, policymakers, students, and consumers. The event is being organised by FAGE in collaboration with the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) and the Ghana Export-Import Bank.
The theme of the Expo is: "From Soil to Sovereignty: Building Ghana's Agricultural Self-Reliance through Innovation." Participants will have the opportunity to explore exhibitions showcasing fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, processed goods, greenhouse technologies, irrigation systems, agritech solutions, packaging innovations, and export-ready products. The programme will also feature business-to-business networking sessions, market linkages, and policy dialogues.
