To fulfill its commitment to reversing the ban on the importation of salvaged vehicles in Ghana, the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry has begun engaging stakeholders.

In March 2020, Parliament passed a law prohibiting the importation of salvaged vehicles into Ghana.

The intention behind this law was to provide incentives for automotive manufacturers and assemblers registered under the Ghana Manufacturing Development Programme.

However, artisans and importers argue that the law acts as a disincentive to their businesses.
