Continuing his Working Visit in the Western Region, Francis Kojo Kwarteng Arthur Esq., engaged with businesses and associations in the Handicrafts sector.

He first met with the Wood Carvers and Cane Weavers Association, where members shared their concerns and the support needed to grow their businesses. The CEO encouraged members of the association to register their businesses to position themselves for the necessary institutional support. He addressed their concerns to the admiration of the members. The members were grateful for the CEOs visit.

At Dress Up College of Fashion, the CEO met with Mr. Eric David Akwabeng, who shared the operations of the institute and it’s plans to start a street market and requested support from the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA). The CEO requested the company to submit their proposals for further study and the necessary recommendations within the mandate of GEPA.

As part of his working visit to the Western Region, the CEO of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), Francis Kojo Kwarteng Arthur Esq., paid a working visit to the Western Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Nelson, to explore practical opportunities for collaboration between GEPA and the Western Regional Coordinating Council.

The engagement is firmly aligned with H.E. John Dramani Mahama’s Reset Agenda, the 24-Hour Economy, and Government’s drive to accelerate Ghana’s export growth.

From the Western Region’s rich natural resources and industrial base to its emerging businesses and export potential, the focus is clear: identify opportunities, build productive capacity, add value and take more Ghanaian products to global markets.

GEPA is advancing the Accelerated Export Development Programme while working closely with strategic partners including the Ghana Investment Promotion Authority (GIPA), Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA) and Ghana EXIM Bank to create a more coordinated export ecosystem.

Through initiatives such as One District, One Exportable Product, GEPA is also working to identify and develop products with export potential in districts across Ghana.

For the Western Region, this means turning its economic strengths into jobs, investment, productive enterprises and increased export earnings, with the 24-Hour Economy providing an important framework for expanding production and economic activity.

Ghana’s over US$5 billion in Non-Traditional Export earnings in 2025 demonstrates what Ghanaian businesses can achieve when the right opportunities and support systems are in place.

The question is: What exportable product from the Western Region can become Ghana’s next global success story?
