A Ghanaian Agribusiness delegation made up of members of the Ghana-Nebraska Agribusiness Growth and Trade Relations Chamber of Commerce (GNEBCHAM) will be in the United States for the Husker harvest days.
The delegation will also include some government officials and private sector players within the livestock, crops, Irrigation, fertilizer, grains, agro-processing, education, finance, technology and input.
They will be meeting with their Nebraskan business counterparts to explore areas of opportunity and discuss ways to forge meaningful relationships that will benefit both countries.
Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa, the Co-Founder of the Ghana-Nebraska Agribusiness Growth and Trade Relations Chamber of Commerce (GNEBCham), expressed the Chamber’s commitment to scale up its trade and facilitation works.
This is to be achieved by ensuring that the GNEBCHAM members are efficiently able to transact, negotiate, sign deals, export and import from the USA by fully leveraging the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
Husker Harvest Days is by far, the largest irrigated farm show to experience the latest in agribusiness technology and learn from industry experts.
The five-day trade facilitation event also seeks to strategically bring to the forefront, the agribusiness opportunity gaps of both regions and provide the desired tailor-made support and measurable solutions to bridge the gap by negotiating and signing short to long-term working agreements.
Last year, about 20 GNEBCHAM members participated in the Husker Harvest Days and the Trade and Investment activity.
Senator Ken Schilz, Co-Founder of GNEBCHAM, expressed delight about the increase in the business delegation for this year.
“Our focus is to ensure that, we are able to successfully create relations that sustain and strengthen the agricultural infrastructure.
“I have personally met with most of our GNEBCHAM member companies, discussing and accessing their collective strengths and I remain confident that we shall achieve our collective objectives,” he said.
GNEBCham is the International representative arm of selected Nebraska Senators, Farmers, Agribusinesses and subsidiaries voluntarily working together with their Ghanaian partners to create an environment where agribusiness and trade can thrive between Ghanaians and Nebraskans.
It aims to foster economic growth and strengthen trade ties by developing business markets among Ghanaian and Nebraskan value chain businesses.
With a growing membership base of over 100 companies, GNEBCham aims at developing agribusiness trade ties and relationships, building bridges that strengthen agricultural infrastructure and drive economic growth.
