The second edition of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration’s Made-In Ghana Bazaar is scheduled to kick off on Friday, July 26, 2019, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
About 200 exhibitors from various sectors are expected to participate in the bazaar which ends on Sunday, July 28, 2019.
The bazaar aims at promoting Made-in-Ghana products abroad, using the network of Ghana’s Diplomatic Missions.
The expected outcome is for increased exports, job creation as well as securing the needed foreign exchange for economic growth and development.

the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Ghana Exim Bank, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Ghana Export Promotion Authority, Ghana Free Zones Authority, Ministry of Business Development, Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, among others in organising the bazaar.
