The Ministry for Agriculture has placed an embargo on the exportation of vegetable products from Ghana to the European market.

The ban, which spans for the next three months, is to ensure that vegetables from the country are devoid of harmful organisms in order to meet the EU market standards.

Deputy Minister in-charge of Crop at the Ministry, Dr. Ahmed Yakubu Alhassan said the vegetable exporters have been made aware of the decision and expected compliance.
