“We intend to set up a Ghana-Turkish Trade Facilitation Desk at the chamber after our our with the Turkish ambassador to deepen the future collaboration to promote agribusiness trade between the two countries. Interestingly, the ambassador is in discussion with the University of Ghana (UG) for a capacity building for some of the students”, Farmer Morrison said.
He added that as the Chamber looks forward to deepening the Turkish-Africa SMEs program, likely for Ghana it is a strong SME start up program and the Chamber is hoping to link the SMEs to the Turkish partners to increase bilateral trade as well as tap into areas of investment, financial support, skills development, technology and many others.
