Ghanaian exporters are preparing for tough times following the United States' introduction of a new 10% tariff on imports, a policy expected to hit key segments of the country's non-traditional exports.
The measure, announced by U.S.
President Donald Trump, has raised concerns among local producers and exporters about potential losses in market share, pricing competitiveness, and revenue from the American market.
According to the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, the tariff will directly affect Ghana's cocoa derivatives-a critical value-added export-as well as garments, textiles, cashew, shea butter, and various agricultural products.
