Tonight on JoyNews, PM Express Business Edition took a look at standard of products manufactured in the country and the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA).
The issue of standards of products has been of major concern to the Ghana Standards Authority and Food and Drugs Authority among others. Weak standards are noted to have dire effects on the Ghanaian economy.
Ghana has signed unto the AfCFTA to enable it develop its economy exponentially. Many are concerned about how the country would enable firms and companies benefit from the agreement amidst concerns over standardisation.
Host, George Wiafe, engages in a one-on-one interaction with Director-General of Ghana Standards Authority and Clinical Pharmacologist, Prof. Alex Dodoo, to find out the way forward to ensure the country benefits from the AfCFTA.
