GEXIM to host 3-Day “Farmers Mart” from November 5th-7th

 

The Ghana Export – Import Bank (GEXIM) has announced a three day Small and Medium – sized Enterprises (SME) Fair dubbed “Farmer’s Mart” as part of activities to mark this year’s edition of the annual National Farmers’ Day celebrations.

 

“Farmer’s Mart” is scheduled to take place at the forecourt of the Africa Trade House, next to the British Council in Accra, from Tuesday 5th to Thursday 7th November 2024 from 8AM to 8PM daily. It is in line with the spirit of the celebrations, which seeks to recognise and reward hard-working farmers and fishermen nationwide.

 

The three day fair forms part of activities to contribute to the successful execution of this year’s celebrations. In addition, the fair will witness an exhibition of a wide range of innovative, affordable, authentic and quality Made-In-Ghana products and services of world-class standard.

 

The Deputy Chief Executive Officer responsible for Banking, Ms. Rosemary Beryl Archer took the opportunity to congratulate all Ghanaian farmers’ and fishermen for their enormous contribution to economic growth over the years and highlighted their important role in human survival.

“As a country, it is important to consolidate the gains made in the agricultural sector over the years. We have also witnessed the introduction of ground-breaking initiatives by the Government to increase growth in agriculture as well as reforms to improve regulatory framework to attract more private investment into the sector.

 

As part of our mandate to assist the Government of Ghana to reposition the Ghanaian economy into an export-led one, the Bank has made significant investment in agriculture and the value chain. Through several interventions, the Bank is supporting SMEs in the sector to embrace value addition, be more innovative with products of globally accepted standards”.

 

Ms. Archer highlighted the importance of the Banks popular SME fair, Tuesday Market, which birthed the GEXIM MiG Town, the first state-sponsored Made-In-Ghana shop located at the ground floor of the Africa Trade House.

 

“After every edition of Tuesday Market, we kept getting calls from the general public on where to buy products they purchased at the fair as most of the SMEs and other vendors didn’t have outlets where they stock their products. It became necessary to set up the GEXIM MiG Town, a one stop shop for everything Made-In-Ghana.

 

The shop stocks assorted and well packaged Mae-In-Ghana products including food and ingredients, beverages, skin and beauty products, textiles, apparel and garments, leather footwear and slippers and many more. It is open to the general public on weekdays from 8AM to 5PM”.

Ms. Archer urged members of the general public to visit “Farmer’s Mart” to take advantage of the mega discounts to be offered by vendors and buy their favourite Made-In-Ghana products at unbeatable prices. “Farmer’s Mart” takes place at the forecourt of the Africa Trade House from Tuesday 5th to Thursday 7th November 2024 from 8AM to 8PM daily.
