revenue target of USD5.3 billion by 2021 will be to implement Ghana\u2019s National Export Development Strategy (NEDS).<\/p>\n<p>Afua Asabea Asare mentioned this at the 2nd formulation workshop of the National Export Development Strategy (NEDS) currently taking place at Aqua Safari, Ada.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering her welcome remarks at the opening ceremony, Madam Asare stated that her organisation is well aware of the President\u2019s \u201cGhana Beyond Aid\u201d agenda which can be equally achieved by riding on the back of increased exports.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

programmes and activities that are expected to yield results and build the capacity of exporters to ensure favourable competition in international markets.<\/p>\n<p>GEPA has also supported product development initiatives by procuring and distributing improved vegetable seeds and coconut, cashew, pineapple and yam seedlings to farmers and out-grower groups in various production zones across Ghana.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-513494\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/05\/GEPA3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\"

Industry, Mr. Patrick Poku, Director for Trade Facilitation at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, reiterated the need to review the National Export Strategy to align with the Government\u2019s ten-point agenda for industrial transformation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-513491\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/05\/GEPA.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The National Export Development strategy is expected to serve as a blueprint that provides the roadmap for the attainment of the revenue targets and also reflect government policies, programmes and projects such as the One District One Factory (1D1F), Strategic Anchor Industries, SMEs Development, Industrial Revitalization (Stimulus Package), Export Diversification, Industrial Sub-Contracting, Industrial Park\/Economic Zones, Planting for Export and Rural Development among others.<\/p>\n<p>It is also envisaged that the National Export Development Strategy will prescribe measures to enable Ghana to take advantage of the Free Trade Agreements such as the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) with the USA and the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which ensures Ghana\u2019s export products enter into these markets duty-free and quota-free.<\/p>\n<p>The 3-day workshop is being attended by participants drawn from
