As part of its mandate to support industrialisation and export development, Ghana EXIM Bank is leading the initiative in collaboration with key public and private sector stakeholders. The Fair is designed to highlight the role of innovation and technology in transforming agriculture and agro-processing while promoting locally manufactured solutions.
In a Facebook post, the Chief Executive of Ghana EXIM Bank stated, “the Fair brings together key actors across the entire agricultural value chain — including manufacturers, technology developers, farmers, fishers, processors, exporters, investors, and policymakers — to connect, exchange ideas, and unlock practical solutions.”
Ghana Agrotech Fair 2026 will feature exhibitions, masterclasses, policy dialogues, business matchmaking sessions, and technical demonstrations aimed at linking innovation with enterprise. Participants will be exposed to modern farming technologies, agro-processing systems, digital agriculture tools, packaging solutions, and sustainable production methods.
The initiative aligns with government’s broader agenda to modernise agriculture, promote import substitution, expand agro-processing capacity, and enhance competitiveness in regional and global markets. Organisers expect the Fair to catalyse investment, encourage partnerships, and support job creation across the agricultural value chain.
