The President of the Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Ex­porters (FAGE), Davis Korboe, has called for a clear and robust policy framework to support Ghana's export sector, particularly the agribusiness value chain.He emphasised that a well-struc­tured framework would provide a "special purpose vehicle" to support exporters, sustain growth momentum, and expand market accessSpeaking at the press launch of the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2025 in Accra on Sunday, Mr Korboe highlighted the chal­lenges faced by exporters amid global economic pressures, citing the absence of a comprehensive policy to guide and cushion their operations.Scheduled for June 11 to 13, 2025, the Expo is on the theme; "Innovate, Transform, and Sus­tain: Driving Growth in Ghana's Horticultural Sector."It aims to showcase the sector's potential to drive economic devel­opment and attract investment.The event is expected to bring together producers, exporters, investors, researchers, and pol­icymakers to explore strategies for innovation, sustainability, and improved market access.Key topics will include climate resilience, regional trade integra­tion, and inclusive participation, particularly involving youth and women-led agribusinesses.While acknowledging support from financial institutions like EXIM Bank and the Ghana Incen­tive-Based Risk-Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (GIRSAL), Mr Korboe said current interven­tions were insufficient to address the full scope of exporters' eco­nomic challenges."Our exporters are crying; this is the time for our banks to step up.

There should be a special purpose vehicle for export and agribusiness in general.

Once that happens, these shocks will be absorbed," he stated.Mr Korboe also addressed the performance of the Ghanaian cedi against major foreign currencies, urging a measured approach to managing its value."There's too much pressure on the cedi, and that hurts our exports.

Some depreciation is necessary, but it shouldn't happen overnight.Stability is important, but we must understand the difference be­tween stability and appreciation," he cautioned.In a remark also, the Vice President of the Coconut Federa­tion-Ghana, Mr Kwaku Boateng, stressed the horticulture industry's critical role in Ghana's non-tradi­tional export basket."Modern horticulture is no longer limited by daylight.
