The Minister of Trade and Industry, Alan Kyeremanteng, acknowledged during the launch that providing digitised trade information will help improve the competitiveness of Ghanaian exporters as they prepare to take advantage of the AfCFTA.
One unique feature of the GEPA facility is the provision of information from the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and the Plant Protection and Regulatory Services Directorate (PPRSD) which are key export-support agencies.
In related news, the GEPA has launched an online diploma in ‘International Trade’ in collaboration with the International Trade Centre (ITC) and the Institute of Export and International Trade (IOEIT).
