Albert Kassim Diwura granting an interview to journalists<\/strong><\/p>\n

BURKINA FASO has
\nemerged Ghana\u2019s number one trading partner in the West Africa sub-Region.<\/p>\n

Nigeria placed
\nfourth on the table of the top 10 trading partners of Ghana in the Economic
\nCommunity of West African States (ECOWAS).<\/p>\n

Burkina Faso in
\n2018 imported an estimated $238 million, topping other nations like Mali,
\nBenin, Liberia, among others.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief
\nExecutive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), Albert
\nKassim Diwura, made this known Tuesday in Accra at the Ghana Investment
\nPromotion Center (GIPC), fourth quarter CEO\u2019s Breakfast Meeting.<\/p>\n

The meeting was
\nunder the theme: Promoting Trade and Export Financing to Support Ghana\u2019s
\nIndustrialization Drive.<\/p>\n

He expressed
\nconcerns about Nigeria, which had about 200 people not being able to lead in
\ntrading with Ghana.<\/p>\n

According to him,
\naside Burkina Faso, the Netherlands topped in the import of products from Ghana
\nfollowed by ECOWAS and the European Union.<\/p>\n

However, he noted
\nthat Ghana could do much better in exports than it was doing currently.<\/p>\n

He indicated for
\ninstance that in the area of cocoa exports, Ghana had the potential of
\nexporting more than its current volume of export, and therefore called for
\nincreased efforts.<\/p>\n

Chief Operating
\nOfficer of GIPC, Carl Nelson, said the long term goal of the meeting was to
\ncollate private sector views on Ghana\u2019s investment space and provide feedback
\nto government on its economic policies.<\/p>\n
