The Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with eight Ghanaian organisations aimed at strengthening industrialisation, promoting value addition, and expanding the country’s export base.
The agreements were signed on the sidelines of GEXIM’s 10th anniversary international conference in Accra on Thursday, March 26, as part of efforts to deepen support for key sectors of the economy.
Among the beneficiaries is Northshore Apparel Ghana Limited, with the partnership focused on boosting local garment manufacturing, creating sustainable jobs, and enhancing Ghana’s export potential in the apparel industry.
GEXIM also partnered TKS Packaging & Printing Limited to expand local manufacturing capacity in packaging and printing, reduce reliance on imports and strengthen the country’s industrial base.
In the agribusiness sector, the bank signed agreements with Nadkansco Company Limited and Freshsaco Foods Exports Company Limited to promote value addition, support farmers and expand non-traditional exports through agro-processing and improved market access.
The bank is further supporting SPEG with financing to acquire heavy-duty machinery for pineapple processing, a move expected to scale up production, create jobs and enhance export competitiveness.
Similarly, GEXIM’s collaboration with Buntaa Farms Limited is aimed at boosting local poultry production, reducing import dependence and strengthening food security through increased domestic capacity.
On the industrial front, GEXIM signed an MoU with Arise Integrated Industrial Platforms Limited (Arise IIP) to support the development of an industrial zone, with the company providing feasibility studies and technical expertise for the project.
Additionally, the bank is working with the Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI) to upgrade its tissue culture laboratory into a centre of excellence to support large-scale production of planting materials for the pineapple industry.
GEXIM stated that the partnerships reflect a broader strategy to catalyse investment, strengthen local industries and position Ghana as a competitive player in regional and global trade.
