We have also been assisting Ghanain exporters to participate in several fairs in Africa and other international markets. We are therefore thrilled to be here in Kenya promoting the Ghana Trade House. Our objective is to bring the Ghanaian market closer to East Africa in the spirit and letter of the AfCFTA”
