Chamber of Agribusiness, Denmark partner to advance agri-logistics and training

As part of a renewed commitment to practical development cooperation, the Embassy of Denmark and the Chamber of Agribusiness Ghana have signed two key Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at enhancing agricultural logistics and vocational training in Ghana’s agribusiness sector.

The MoUs were formalised at a ceremony on Thursday July 10, 2025, at the Embassy of Denmark in Accra. The initiative forms part of Denmark’s broader strategy to support resilient, efficient, and competitive agri-food systems in Ghana.

Outgoing Danish Ambassador to Ghana, Tom Nørring described the partnership as a deepened bilateral effort to transform Ghana’s agriculture by addressing two critical gaps: the inefficiencies in post-harvest handling and the disconnect between training and industry needs.

“These MoUs are a starting point. Together, we are planting the seeds of lasting transformation in Ghana’s agriculture sector — for farmers, for youth, and for the future,” Ambassador Norring stated.

For his part the CEO of the Chamber of Agribusiness Ghana, Anthony Morrison, indicated that the MoU aligns with Ghana’s Feed Ghana Programme and 24-Hour Economy Initiative.

“This will obviously transform into the president’s vision for Agricultural of Economic Transformation. We will achieve the feed Ghana and the feed the industry through these efforts,” he said.

He also added that in the first year, the training program aims to recruit about 100 final-year students from colleges of agriculture and technical universities, which will provide them with valuable support and opportunities.

Under the first MoU, the parties will collaborate to develop a platform through Agric Logistics Africa, focusing on post-harvest management, cold chain systems, and market access.

The second MoU targets vocational and technical training for graduates, with a focus on sustainable agribusiness, livestock, and dairy production. Denmark’s globally recognised approach to practice-based, competency-driven training will be adapted to support young professionals and institutions in Ghana.

Ambassador Norring noted that Denmark’s success in agri-food transformation is rooted in public-private collaboration, applied research, and training models tailored to real market needs — pillars that will now support Ghana’s development goals.

Meanwhile, the Chamber of Agribusiness has announced that Ghana will host an International Agro-Trade Expo and Exhibition in Accra from November 25 to 28, 2025.
