Ghana Export Promotion Council starts
training programme for exporters
Accra, March 11, Ghanadot/GNA – The Ghana Export Promotion
Council (GEPC), an export promotion agency, has embarked on
a four-day training programme for exporters to enable them
keep abreast with the dynamic changes in the global market.
The training also aims to stimulate the interest of persons
to see the export
sector as a profession.
Mr Samuel Brew, Head of Training GEPC, told the Ghana News
Agency in Accra that
the programme sought to encourage beginners and those who
were already in the export trade to upgrade themselves in
order to meet the challenges of the competitive export
market.
“We do this every quarter to bring to the attention of
exporters, trade information
to enable them conform to requirements and standards of the
various segments of the market,” he said.
Mr Brew said some exporters in the Volta, Western and
Eastern regions had also benefited from the training and
this year, those in the Northern and Central Regions would
be covered.
He said the training had brought to bear on the exporters
the need for good
planning and information on the export projects they might
want to embark on.
Mr Brew said the training had also brought to the fore the
challenges of
pricing, supply constraints and finance being faced by
exporters.
Some of the topics being discussed at the training include
costing and
pricing, export financing, risk management, market research
and the ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation scheme.
