Embrace Aggregation Concept For AfCFTA Benefit – MSMEs Advised Daily Guide Network
Seth Twum Akwaboah
SETH TWUM Akwaboah, Chief Executive Officer of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), has advised Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to embrace the concept of aggregation designed to rope Ghanaian MSMEs onto the business of intra Africa trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement.
He explained that majority of MSMEs did not have the requisite capacity to export in large quantities and might also lack the technical know-how to export their wares when the free trade agreement took effect.
He therefore urged them to collaborate with export companies which would be set up to act as intermediaries between Ghanaian MSMEs and other potential customers on the African continent.

The government is putting measures in place to ensure that markets in the country have proper management systems, including trained fire wardens and adequate security, to forestall fire outbreaks and other such disasters.
Apart from preventing the incessant fire outbreaks in markets, a proper system will also contain them when they do occur and also ensure that items are salvaged, in such circumstances, before the intervention of fire personnel.
The Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Hajia Alima Mahama, announced this after touring the Kaneshie Market Complex and the Odawna Market in Accra yesterday.
