Dr Afuah Asabea Asare, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), said Ghana has recorded substantial expansion in exports, which has enhanced her stature in international trade.
However, she said, the recent relatively weak performance of the non-traditional exports (NTEs) sector and other externalities in the international trading environment had revealed the risks, weaknesses and uncertainties associated with the over-dependence on primary commodity exports and limited product diversification.
