Mr Anthony Sikpa, the President of the Federation Association of Ghanaian Exporters (FAGE), on Wednesday said the hosting of the African Continental Free Trade Area presents more opportunities to the country especially in the area of agro-export.

In order to benefit fully, he suggested to the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) to provide the needed support to address challenges of farmers who 'wear' a major part of the export value chain.

At a forum aimed at discussing the opportunities in the hosting of the Trade Centre, Mr Sikpa said, "GEPA has a lot more to do than they are saying. They need to look at each product, on a case by case basis and find out what is ailing, to enable them address it".
