Market & Supply Chains

Supply Chain and Market Systems Efficiency: This pillar aims to establish efficient, transparent, and inclusive market ecosystems that facilitate connections between producers and markets, reduce transaction costs, and maximize value capture within domestic and export value chains. It addresses Ghana’s supply chain inefficiencies, market system failures, and financial bottlenecks by:

• Developing multimodal transportation networks centred on the Volta Lake to reduce logistics costs from 40-50% to 15-20% of product value
• Establishing an air cargo hub in northern Ghana as a strategic export gateway, enabling high-value, time-sensitive exports from northern Ghana to reach European, North African, and regional markets efficiently
• Establishing modern storage infrastructure across strategic locations to reduce post- harvest losses from 30-50% to 15%
• Creating digital market platforms that connect producers directly to buyers, eliminating unnecessary intermediaries and ensuring fair pricing
• Implementing specialised financial products that align with the cash flow cycles of value chain actors
• Streamlining trade facilitation processes to enhance export competitiveness under the African Continental Free Trade Area
