The German Development Cooperation, in partnership with the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, has celebrated the significant achievements of the Sustainable Employment through Agribusiness (AgriBiz) Programme \u2013 one of Ghana\u2019s most impactful private-sector development initiatives in recent years.<\/p>\n

Since its launch in 2021, AgriBiz has supported more than 1,000 agribusinesses, created over 1,000 jobs, and strengthened the productivity and income levels of over 83,000 farmers and producers across the country.<\/p>\n

At the closing ceremony in Accra, Deputy Head of Development Cooperation at the German Embassy, Daniel B\u00f6hme, praised the programme\u2019s contribution to transforming Ghana\u2019s agricultural value chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgriBiz has helped drive inclusive growth, expand job opportunities, and empower women at all levels of the value chain,\u201d he said, adding that Germany remains committed to building on the partnerships and innovations established.<\/p>\n

Chief Director at the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Noah Tumfo, highlighted the programme\u2019s focus on practical enterprise support delivered through Business Resource Centres. Agribusinesses benefited from coaching on business planning, financial management, product development, standards, certification, and export readiness.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese interventions directly enhanced productivity and improved market compliance for many firms,\u201d Mr. Tumfo noted.<\/p>\n

Beneficiaries also shared testimonials, including Augustina Asor Tufuor, CEO of Tropical Snacks, who said AgriBiz had transformed her entrepreneurial journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been empowered \u2014 and I\u2019m empowering others too,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Representing the European Union Delegation, Paulina Rozcka commended the joint efforts of the EU, German Development Cooperation, and the Government of Ghana, particularly in supporting agribusiness growth in north-western Ghana.<\/p>\n

Held under the theme \u201cCelebrating AgriBiz Impact and Partnerships\u201d, the closing event brought together key stakeholders from the public sector, private industry, and civil society. The gathering highlighted the programme\u2019s influence on innovation, women\u2019s economic empowerment, and improved agricultural production.<\/p>\n
