Wedoany.com Report on Feb 2nd, On January 21, 2026, Elizabeth Ofori-Agyare, Ghana's Minister for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, announced at a government accountability series meeting that the country had exported 26 tons of mangoes to Morocco for the first time via road transport. This marks the first time the fruit has been transported by truck between the two countries, signifying the opening of a new logistics channel for Ghanaian mango exports.

Ofori-Agyare detailed the specifics of this mango export at the meeting: "In 2025, for the first time in Ghana's export history, mangoes were shipped to Morocco by truck. We transported approximately 26 metric tons via road. The trucks actually came all the way from Morocco to collect the mangoes." She emphasized that this land transport effort reflects Ghana's endeavors to diversify export routes and demonstrates the strengthening of cross-border logistics cooperation within Africa.

This mango export not only showcases the development achievements of Ghana's agribusiness sector but also reflects the country's proactive strategy of utilizing alternative transport corridors to promote regional trade. The Minister noted that such initiatives help support Ghana's efforts to expand its range of non-traditional exports and improve market access conditions for agricultural products across the African continent.

Ofori-Agyare also shared the positive impacts resulting from Ghana's participation in international economic and trade activities. She mentioned that Ghana's showcase at the Expo held in Osaka, Japan, attracted the attention of international investors. "I am pleased to say that following our participation in the Osaka Expo, Japan's State Minister for Foreign Affairs led a 50-member investment delegation to visit Ghana. This is a direct result of our efforts in Osaka."

These developments are part of Ghana's assessment of its trade, agribusiness, and export performance over the past year. The government views logistics diversification and international engagement as crucial drivers for future economic growth. The successful case of exporting mangoes to Morocco via road provides new practical experience for Ghanaian agricultural products to explore markets in Africa.
