Minister of Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong says the government intends to lift the recently imposed ban on grain exports by November.
This announcement comes as a relief to stakeholders in the agriculture and trade sectors who have been closely monitoring the situation following the abrupt implementation of the export ban due to unexpected grain production shortfalls in Northern Ghana.
The export ban, which was put into effect in August was in response to alarming reports of decreased grain yields in the northern part of the country. Mr. Acheampong expressed confidence that the current challenges would be mitigated by November, allowing the government to lift the restrictions on grain exports.
