Dr. Humphrey K. Ayim-Darke, President of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI), expresses concern over the influx of imported goods through unfair trade practices and smuggling, impacting the competitiveness of local production.

Addressing the Sixth Volta Trade and Investment Fair in Ho, Dr Ayim-Darke emphasizes the need to combat the menace affecting the country’s industrial growth. He calls on the Volta Regional Minister and traditional authorities to join the fight against unfair trade practices.

Dr. Ayim-Darke highlights the AGI’s support for the recent Legislative Instrument (LI) introduced by the Trade Minister, believing that regulation can bring fairness and address market failures. While supporting the principle of the LI, he suggests that aspects of its implementation, including the role of the Trade Minister in accepting or denying applications for restricted products, need further deliberation.

The AGI President commends the National Export Strategy, expressing confidence that its implementation will enhance Ghana’s participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). He hopes that the Volta Trade and Investment Fair will attract local investment to support the private sector in leveraging opportunities within the AfCFTA.
