Ghana: Innovative financing key to ag development
He said there was much funding available, both commercial and non-commercial to support the vegetable sector.
“Having a viable and realistic business plan is the key to accessing this finance,” Mr Van Helden stated at the Fourth GhanaVeg Business Platform Meeting which began on Wednesday in Accra.
The three-day meeting is on the theme: “Innovative Financing and Business Opportunities for the Commercial Vegetable Sector.”
He said the vegetable sector was important to invest into, both for Ghana and the Netherlands, as Ghana had a huge potential of delivering both the domestic and international markets.
The Business Platform also saw a Trade Delegation from the Netherlands participating, including fertilizer and seed companies, as well as importers of fresh produce.
It was designed to bring together key players of the commercial vegetable sector to tackle some of the financial challenges that the sector faces, and find ways to increase productivity, as well as the safety, quality and logistics of the produce.
