Local producers in various sectors of the economy will from henceforth enjoy direct access to foreign markets.
This is as a result of the new marketing online portal launched by the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA).
Known as the Exporters Portal, the online platform offers Ghanaian producers the opportunity to expose their goods and services to foreign markets, without having to undergo the traditional hurdles of clearance by various authorities.
The portal will provide real-time information on Ghanaian products sold by various local producers or traders registered with GEPA.
