Presidential Advisor on the 24-hour Economy, Goosie Tanoh, says government is working with a private-sector investor to establish a cut-flower corridor aimed at boosting Ghana’s horticultural exports.
He says the proposed corridor will run along the Daboya-Singa pathway, with flowers transported through the Tamale Air Cargo Hub to domestic and international markets.
According to him, the initiative forms part of efforts under the 24-hour Economy programme to build a competitive horticulture industry.
Mr Tanoh says Ghana must move beyond simply growing horticultural products and develop the systems needed to turn production into a viable industry.
He says stronger value chains, supported by financing, will enable Ghanaian horticultural businesses to expand into domestic and international markets.
“We at the 24-Hour Economy Secretariat are working with a private sector investor to develop a cut flowers corridor along the Daboya-Singa pathway to be airlifted through the Tamale Air Cargo Hub to markets in Europe, markets in Ghana and West Africa, the Gulf, and other future potential destinations” he said.
