EU vegetable ban costs Ghana $10m
Having put in place a lab and a traceability system, the Ghana Export Promotion Council said it expects the ban will be lifted by September 21.
Moths and other insects infected vegetables which were glossed over by the inspection organization PPISG, according to the Ghana Export Promotion Authority.
Ghana was placed under the ban by the food and veterinary office of the European Commission. The vegetables include chillis, aubergines and gourds among others.
A tracking system to monitor and determine which vegetable farms an infested product is coming from has also been purchased to make sure Ghana does not get banned again. A national task force was set up in 2015 to make sure Ghana gets it right.
