Onion traders hail Trade Minister’s intervention as Ghana-Nigeria trade dispute eases

The Accra Onion Sellers and Importers Cooperative Society and the Cross Border Women Traders Association said the Minister’s engagement with stakeholders had helped restore the movement of onions between the two countries after Nigeria suspended exports to Ghana.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Accra Onion Sellers and Importers Cooperative Society, Osman Mohammed, all four Ghanaian trucks carrying onions from Nigeria that had been held up have now been released.

The Accra Onion Sellers and Importers Cooperative Society, which brings together five major onion trading groups, including associations in Accra, Adjei Kotoku and Dominanse in the Central Region, commended the Ministry for responding quickly to the situation.
