A member of the ICUMS Implementation Team, Joseph Agbaga, has stated that it is unfortunate that the freight-forwarders who play intermediary role between the businesses and government have not been well educated.  

“As at now, they (freight forwarders) are not seeing any move towards giving them any message or education about what they are to do, because of the sensitive position the freight forwarders play,” he said.

Speaking on Eye on Port, he stated that considering the crucial role that freight forwarders play in the clearance chain, it will be proper for them to be well educated on the AfCFTA.

Touching on other issues, he asked that export documents required to facilitate trading under the AFCTA be made public.

He said the ICC Ghana has also created a digital platform to bring together buyers and sellers to start engagements and encourage SMEs to take advantage and register.

The Executive Director of the AfCTFA Policy Network, Louis Yaw Afful commended Ghana for making a good strive by setting up the Local AfCFTA Coordination Office which was part of the recommendations given by the African Ministers of Trade.
