Ghana’s non-traditional exports surpassed $5 billion in value for the first time, according to the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA). This represents a significant increase of approximately 30% compared to the previous year’s figures. The achievement highlights a positive trend in the diversification of Ghana’s export economy, moving beyond reliance on traditional commodities. GEPA officials attribute the growth to increased production and demand for products like processed foods, horticultural items, and handicrafts. This milestone is expected to contribute positively to Ghana’s foreign exchange earnings and economic development. Further details regarding specific product categories driving this growth are anticipated in a full GEPA report. The surge indicates successful export promotion strategies and a strengthening global market for Ghanaian goods.
