PR & COMMS UPDATES – MOTAI
A six-person team from Ukraine visited the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, as part of initiatives to strengthen Ghana-Ukraine trade and investment cooperation.
Hon. Sampson Ahi, Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, welcomed the group on behalf of the sector minister.
He reiterated Ghana’s dedication to fortifying the two nations’ long-standing cordial ties.
During the meeting, the Deputy Minister discussed Ghana’s ongoing support for Ukraine and stressed the significance of the trade and investment agreement that was signed on June 10, 2022, between the Council of Exporters and Investors of Ukraine and the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This agreement offers a framework for increased economic cooperation.
According to Hon. Sampson Ahi, Ghana already has close commercial relations with Ukraine, acquiring goods like cooking oil, fertiliser, and other agricultural inputs while exporting goods like manganese and cocoa products.
He continued by saying that the Ghanaian government is putting more of an emphasis on agribusiness by concentrating on the commercial side of farming, especially value addition after production and feeding local industries.
“Ghana is positioning itself as the center for business in Africa,” he said, adding that businesses operating in Ghana have access to the enormous 1.4 billion consumer market through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), which has an Accra-based Secretariat.
Ghana is still a peaceful, democratic, and investment-friendly nation where companies can operate with confidence under the rule of law, according to Hon. Sampson Ahi, who reassured the group of the government’s support.
Volodymyr Korchun, who was in charge of the Ukrainian delegation, gave an overview of the agricultural operations of his company, LNZ, and stated that he was eager to learn more about potential investments in Ghana.
He emphasised Ukraine’s proficiency in contemporary farming technology, crop protection goods, fertilisers, and seed production on a huge scale.
Innovative agricultural solutions, such as hybrid seeds and agronomic support systems intended to increase farmer production, were also presented by the delegation.
The conference is a part of the Ministry’s continuous efforts to draw in strategic alliances that will bolster Ghana’s agriculture sector, encourage technology transfer, and boost agricultural productivity while establishing Ghana as Africa’s manufacturing powerhouse.
