The Government of Ghana has announced plans to engage authorities in Burkina Faso following the decision to suspend the export of fresh tomatoes from Ghana.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, the move comes after Burkina Faso’s directive, which took effect on March 16, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the engagement will focus on addressing concerns surrounding the ban and finding a mutually beneficial solution for both countries.
The Government also reaffirmed its commitment to working with stakeholders to boost local tomato production under the “Feed Ghana” and “Feed the Industry” programmes to meet domestic demand.
It further urged tomato traders to remain calm as efforts are underway to secure an amicable resolution.
