The forecourt of the State House in Accra will host the third edition of the Ghana Horticulture Expo from June 11 to 13, 2026, as stakeholders across the agricultural value chain gather to explore strategies for strengthening the country’s agricultural self-reliance and export competitiveness.
The event, themed “From soil to sovereignty: Building Ghana’s agricultural self-reliance through innovation,” is being organised by the Federation of Associations of Ghanaian Exporters in collaboration with the Ghana Export Promotion Authority and Ghana Export-Import Bank.
The expo is expected to bring together farmers, exporters, agribusinesses, investors, development partners, researchers, policy-makers, students and consumers to discuss opportunities within the country’s horticultural sector; and promote sustainable agricultural development.
Organisers say this year’s edition will build on the successes of previous events and provide a larger platform for innovation, investment promotion, value addition and export growth at a time when countries around the world are increasingly prioritising food security and economic resilience.
The three-day event will feature exhibitions of fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, processed products, greenhouse technologies, irrigation systems, agritech solutions, packaging innovations and export-ready commodities.
Participants will also engage in business-to-business meetings, market linkage sessions and policy discussions aimed at strengthening the domestic agricultural value chain and enhancing the country’s position within the global horticultural market.
President of FAGE, Davies Narh Korboe, stressed the importance of transforming agriculture into a key driver of national development and economic resilience.
According to him, the country possesses the land, climate, human resources and potential to feed itself while competing effectively on international markets. He noted that agricultural self-reliance should be viewed not only as an economic objective but also as a national responsibility requiring innovation, strategic investment and strong partnerships.
He further indicated that the expo seeks to inspire collective action and encourage greater investment in the country’s agricultural future, particularly among young entrepreneurs and agribusiness players.
Beyond the exhibitions and networking opportunities, the Ghana Horticulture Expo 2026 is expected to highlight agriculture as a critical pathway to job creation, food security, export expansion and inclusive economic growth.
Organisers believe the initiative will help unlock untapped opportunities within the horticultural sector and support the country’s broader ambition of achieving agricultural sovereignty and export excellence.
