Felix Kamasa, President of the Vegetable Exporters Association, emphasized the significance of the exhibition for boosting Ghana’s international agricultural presence. He told The High Street Journal that the event will feature staple produce like gari, yams, and sweet potatoes while providing a platform for building strong global partnerships. “By showcasing these foods, we aim to promote Ghana’s rich agricultural heritage and open new markets for our farmers and exporters,” Kamasa said.
