Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr. Pau Ma\u0308rz, Managing Director of fairtrade, has noted that, with almost 40 million population, Ghana has a huge food market for Investment.<\/b><\/p>\n

He added that, the country\u2019s expenditure in the food and beverage sector is growing steadily and is \u201cby far the largest segment of the Ghanaian processing industry\u201d.<\/p>\n

According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ghana imported food worth USD 1.2 billion and exported food worth USD 1.7 billion in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, food trade with Ghana is an USD 8.5 billion business,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ma\u0308rz was speaking in an interview at the 6th International Trade Show for West Africa agrofood and West Africa plastprintpack conference and exhibition in Accra on Tuesday November 21, 2023.<\/p>\n

According to H.E. this growth suggests that many more Ghanaian companies are looking for Italian solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invest in innovation, training, provide technical assistance, and out products are reliable, and there are many initiatives to promote the trade between Ghana and Italy,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n
