According to Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the deal would grant zero tariff treatment for key exports, including cocoa, shea butter, and cashew.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for a new float glass manufacturing facility in Accra, Ofosu-Adjare stressed the strategic importance of the partnership.
“Our two countries will be able to refine oil, textiles, and garments, and agriculture into one of the world’s largest economies,” she said, adding that Chinese input remains vital to Ghana’s industrialisation agenda.
The minister indicated that formal signing is expected in the coming weeks. If concluded, analysts say the agreement could mark one of the most consequential recent steps in Ghana-China commercial relations, with potential ripple effects across West Africa’s trade landscape.
