Ghana launches London Trade House to boost export opportunities
Ghana has launched the Ghana Trade House in London, a facility designed to provide Ghanaian exporters with a permanent presence in the UK market. Unveiled on August 4, 2026, by Ghana鈥檚 High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson, the initiative aims to enhance trade and investment relations between Ghana and the UK. Established by the Ghana Export Promotion Authority GEPA in collaboration with the Ghana High Commission, the Trade House will serve as a marketplace for Made-in-Ghana products, including processed foods, beverages, textiles, cosmetics, and light manufacturing. It is also intended to be a hub for investors seeking export-ready Ghanaian businesses. The Chief Executive Officer of GEPA, Francis Kojo Kwarteng Arthur, highlighted that the facility addresses a key challenge for exporters: gaining access to international markets. Total trade in goods and services between Ghana and the UK reached 拢1.6 billion by the end of 2025, a 12.5 percent increase from the previous year, with UK imports from Ghana rising to 拢697 million. The Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of Operations at the Presidency, Stanislav Xoese Dogbe, noted that the growth in Ghana鈥檚 non-traditional export sector reflects the government's commitment to export development.
