Target low-hanging fruits – AfCFTA Secretariat to party states
He expressed these thoughts at the Ghana-leg of a roadshow preceding the second Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF 2021), where he was representing the Secretary-General, Wamkele Mene. “Agricultural trade is the prime example of low-hanging fruit, and we urge the members of the business community to urge your governments to free the areas that you know are low-hanging. This, he noted would be a boost for intra-African Trade and Africa’s trade with the rest of the world. Why would you have yams rotting in Ghana or in Nigeria when people in Burkina need it? Intra-African agricultural trade as a percentage of total African agricultural trade consistently remains below 20%, one of the lowest for any region.
