Business News of Sunday, 4 July 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Ghana Commodity Exchange (GCX) says it has created the needed modern, interactive and appropriate technological marketplace that connect people with markets to trade in commodities. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, July 4, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer of the exchange Tucci Goka Ivowi said this has enabled all users (farmers, cooperatives, buyers, brokers, merchants etc.) Providing updates on the progress of the exchange since its inception in 2018, Mrs Ivowii said the exchange is positioned as a national and regional exchange to formalize Ghana’s and West Africa’s agricultural sector and provide better access to agricultural and financial markets for participants. “We started by trading in Ghana for Ghanaian farmers but in the next face, when you talk about the region we have started with landlocked countries. The idea is to bring them formally to the exchange so we are increasing our reach in the West African market then the wider African market,” she noted.
