The Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA), from June 6 to 7, 2025 joined industry leaders and policymakers at the Africa Agriculture and Investment Summit held in London.
The summit, organised by AgricWealth UK and Ghana in partnership with Ghana’s High Commission in the UK, was held under the theme “Building Wealth Through Agriculture and Green Energy.”
Speaking on behalf of the Authority, Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Operations, Lateef Apau Wiredu, stressed the importance of investing in Ghana’s growing agricultural sector.
