Davies Narh Korboe – President of Coconut Federation Ghana
The President of the Federation of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE), Davies Narh Korboe, has emphasised that Ghana possesses all the essentials to achieve food self-sufficiency and compete globally in agriculture.
Speaking ahead of the third edition of the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026, scheduled for June 11-13, 2026, Korboe highlighted the nation’s unique advantages: its fertile lands, favourable climate and hardworking people as the foundation for building resilience in food security.
“Ghana possesses the land, the people, the climate, and the potential to feed itself and compete globally. Agricultural self-reliance is not merely an economic ambition; it is a national responsibility. Through innovation, partnerships, and strategic investments, we can build a Ghana that grows what it consumes and exports what the world demands,” he stated.
His remarks capture the essence of the Expo: a call for collective action, national pride and strategic investment in Ghana’s agricultural future.
From Thursday, June 11 to Saturday, June 13, 2026, the Forecourt of the State House in Accra will host the 3rd Ghana Horticulture Expo, a premier gathering aimed at redefining the future of agriculture and agribusiness in Ghana.
Organised by FAGE in collaboration with the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) and the Ghana Export and Import Bank (Ghana Exim Bank), the Expo will unite farmers, exporters, agribusinesses, investors, development partners, researchers, policymakers, students and consumers under the inspiring theme: “From Soil to Sovereignty: Building Ghana’s Agricultural Self-Reliance through Innovation.”
Building on the success of previous editions, the 2026 Expo is expected to be bigger, more impactful and more transformative. At a time when global food systems face increasing pressure, Ghana stands at a defining moment.
Despite its rich agricultural resources, significant opportunities remain untapped within the horticultural sector.
The Expo seeks to provide a strategic platform that promotes innovation, value addition, export growth, investment opportunities, and sustainable agricultural development.
Over the three-day event, participants will experience vibrant exhibitions of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, processed products, greenhouse technologies, irrigation systems, agritech innovations, packaging solutions and export-ready commodities.
In addition, the Expo will feature business-to-business networking sessions, market linkages, and policy discussions designed to strengthen Ghana’s agricultural value chain and position the country as a competitive player in the global horticultural market.
Beyond exhibitions and business opportunities, the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026 aims to inspire hope, empower young entrepreneurs and demonstrate that agriculture remains one of the strongest pathways to economic growth, job creation, food security and national development.
As Ghana journeys toward agricultural sovereignty and export excellence, the 3rd Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026 stands as a bold and timely initiative to transform potential into prosperity.
