\"\"<\/a>An Export Development Officer of the Ghana Export and Promotion Council (GEPC) has advised young entrepreneurs in the country to venture into the non-traditional export sector.<\/p>\n

Mr. Fred Asante said non-traditional products such as plywood, artifacts, pineapples, oranges, pawpaw, pea, cotton and others have a high demand on the international market and advised young unemployed graduates in particular to venture into it.<\/p>\n

Mr. Asante gave the advice in an interview with the GNA in Takoradi on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Export Development Officer said the GEPC has the mandate to promote the export of non-traditional products and assist exporters to market their products in international trade fairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ghana Export Promotion Council also gives guidelines to potential entrepreneurs in non-traditional products about how to export their finished products as well as packaging so as to meet international standards, \u201che said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Asante noted that the GEPC worked in tandem with other state institutions such as the Ghana Standard Board, the Ghana Community Network Limited (GC-Net) among others in ensuring that non-traditional products are well packaged and marketed outside the country.<\/p>\n

He warned prospective entrepreneurs in the export sector to deal directly with the GEPC rather than middlemen who might exploit them for their selfish gains.<\/p>\n

Mr. Asante complained about inadequate funding from the government to support their activities saying, \u201cBecause it is a state institution, the resources allocated to us cannot support all our planned programmes and that had been our bane\u201d<\/p>\n
