Ghana government urged to increase Non Traditional Exports
He said an increase in the production of NTE crops and items would help ensure economic growth, create jobs for the youth and improve the standard of living.
Ghana exports yam, cassava, gari, bananas, plantain, pineapples, citrus, beans, shea nuts, textiles, and handicrafts among other things under the Non-Traditional Export drive that started in 1994.
Touching on the challenges farmers face in Ghana, he said the high cost of transportation and expensive food safety logistics were some of the financial challenges and called on government to support their initiative by lowering taxes on such logistics.
