Activity BackgroundThe Feed the Future Ghana Trade and Investment Activity (GTI) aims to grow and diversify exports to boost national GDP and household income for Ghanaian citizens through the adoption and enforcement of internationally recognized standards along agricultural value chains, the reduction in time and cost to move goods across borders, and increased investment, especially among small and medium enterprises. A component of GTI is to improve the quality of high-value agricultural goods and products by strengthening traceability systems, incentivizing SME awareness and use of these systems, and ensuring that the enforcement of SPS standards aligns at the national and international levels. To do this, the project is seeking to support export-oriented enterprises in adopting and achieving compliance with internationally recognized market-driven standards. Ghana is well-placed and has a very high potential for the commercial production of fruit and vegetables and their processed derivatives for export. However, for the country to access international markets, an effective and stringent food safety regulatory system should ensure these products comply with international food safety standards. Ghana commenced implementation of the National Food Safety Policy from December 2022 which aimed at addressing the weaknesses and overlaps in the existing food safety regulatory structure in Ghana through:
