The Tuesday Market is a fair organised by Eximbank to showcase businesses being supported by Bank facilities to improve production, packaging and potential export.
“Ghana is in a unique place to increase production of food value chain products, packaging and exports, at a time when the World Bank is warning of a potential food security crisis globally. Again, it is heartwarming to see so many young people and young women venturing into the agric processing value chain. I am also impressed with the profile of persons I am seeing here today. I see lots of people hitherto described as working classblue collar people investing in businesses in this value chain. Returns are higher than the usual T-bills.” Mr Nkrumah said.
