Xinhua, Accra :
The German ministry for Economic Affairs has ranked Ghana as one of the top export countries in 2014, a release received Thursday said.
The release attributed the ranking to the country’s above-average growth and a stable business environment.
According to the Germany-based Fairtrade Messe GmbH, the German ministry for Economic Affairs had identified six countries that earned increased attention of the German export economy.
“Ghana is characterized by an above-average growth, a positive development in the core sectors of the German middle class and a stable business environment. Great opportunities also open up for mechanical engineering,” State Secretary Stefan Kapferer stated.
He said having realized the great potentials in the Ghanaian economy, the trade fair specialist, Fairtrade Messe, would take advantage of the situation and hold the second edition of Agrofood West Africa in Accra in December.
The Ghanaian ministries of Food and Agriculture and of Trade and Industry support the event and an Agrofood West Africa industry portal is erected to facilitate relations between buyers and sellers all year round, according to the statement.
The exhibition, according to the organizers, is aimed at creating valuable synergies for exhibitors and visitors alike.
