AfroChampions urges businesses in Ghana
In spite of the publicity built around the AfCFTA, data from the Ghana Statistical Service shows that only 134,000 businesses are currently aware of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement, making up 26.2 percent of firms nationwide. "I mean all kinds of businesses are qualified to trade under the AfCFTA, both small and big businesses. The most important thing is for businesses in Ghana to try to obtain from government the list of the products which Ghana has negotiated to trade under the agreement. That's the most important thing. It's not every product that necessarily qualifies to be traded under the agreement. The second thing is to understand the different countries in Africa that are currently trading under the agreement because it is not all African countries that are joining the start of trading right away."
