This was disclosed by the Acting Head of the Women's Desk of the bank,  Dr. Lorette Sarpong at a one-day agricultural production fair organized by Agrihouse Foundation at Dzorwulu in Accra.

According to Dr. Sarpong, the digital platform will expose these women to a lot of opportunities including an expanded market.
