Ghana: Promotion of farmers' associations

The German Federation of Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services (BGA) is cooperating in the PartnerAfrica project with Ghanaian producers’ associations for pineapples, mangoes and sweet potatoes in order to increase exports to Europe and thus create more income and employment for the members of the associations. For the products, quality and transparency in the supply chains are to be further increased and the use of bio-fertilisers is to be tested as a preliminary stage to organic production. Furthermore, women in agriculture as producers and entrepreneurs in further processing are to be supported in a targeted manner in improving the quality and quantity of their products, thus increasing their export potential.
