Ghana will host the third edition of the Ghana Horticulture Expo from June 11 to 13, 2026, at the Forecourt of the State House in Accra, as part of efforts to promote agriculture and strengthen agribusiness development in the country.
The three-day event, organised by the Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE) in collaboration with the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) and the Ghana Export and Import Bank, is expected to bring together key stakeholders across the agricultural value chain.
Participants will include farmers, exporters, agribusinesses, investors, development partners, researchers, policymakers, students, and consumers, all converging under the theme: “From Soil to Sovereignty: Building Ghana’s Agricultural Self-Reliance through Innovation.”
Organisers say the 2026 edition will build on the successes of previous expos and is expected to be more impactful, with a focus on promoting innovation, value addition, export growth, and sustainable agricultural development.
The Expo comes at a time when global food systems are under increasing pressure, pushing countries to prioritise local production and economic resilience. Despite Ghana’s rich agricultural resources, significant opportunities in the horticultural sector remain untapped.
The event will feature exhibitions of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, processed products, greenhouse technologies, irrigation systems, agritech innovations, packaging solutions, and export-ready commodities.
In addition, participants will engage in business-to-business networking sessions, market linkages, and policy discussions aimed at strengthening Ghana’s agricultural value chain and enhancing its competitiveness on the global horticultural market.
Speaking ahead of the event, President of FAGE, Davies Narh Korboe, emphasised the need for agricultural transformation to build a resilient economy. He noted that Ghana has the land, human capital, and climate needed to achieve food self-sufficiency and compete globally, stressing that agricultural self-reliance must be treated as a national priority.
According to him, the Expo represents a call for collective action through innovation, partnerships, and strategic investment to ensure the country produces what it consumes and exports competitively.
Beyond business opportunities, the organisers say the Expo will also inspire young entrepreneurs and highlight agriculture as a key pathway to job creation, food security, and national development. The Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026 is expected to play a critical role in advancing the country’s quest for agricultural sovereignty and transforming the sector into a driver of economic growth.
