The President of the Federation of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE), Davies Narh Korboe, has stated that Ghana has the potential to achieve food self-sufficiency and compete globally in agriculture.
Speaking in an interview ahead of the third edition of the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026, scheduled for June 11 to 13, Mr. Korboe said Ghana has the land, climate and human resource needed to strengthen food security and grow the agriculture sector.
“Ghana possesses the land, the people, the climate, and the potential to feed itself and compete globally. Agricultural self-reliance is not merely an economic ambition; it is a national responsibility.
According to him, “through innovation, partnerships, and strategic investments, we can build a Ghana that grows what it consumes and exports what the world demands.”
The Expo will be held at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra under the theme: “From Soil to Sovereignty: Building Ghana’s Agricultural Self-Reliance through Innovation.”
The event is being organised by FAGE in collaboration with the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) and Ghana Export-Import Bank (Ghana Exim Bank).
It is expected to bring together farmers, exporters, agribusinesses, investors, development partners, researchers, policymakers, students and consumers.
According to the organisers, the Expo seeks to promote innovation, value addition, export growth, investment opportunities and sustainable agricultural development.
Participants are expected to showcase fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, processed products, greenhouse technologies, irrigation systems, agritech innovations, packaging solutions and export-ready commodities.
The event will also feature business-to-business networking sessions, market linkages and policy discussions aimed at strengthening Ghana’s agricultural value chain and positioning the country competitively on the global horticultural market.
It is expected to inspire young entrepreneurs and highlight agriculture as a major pathway for economic growth, job creation and national development.
