Dr. Dominic Oduro Antwi, President of the Ghana India Trade Advisory Chamber, spoke about a recent attack. He said the attack happened in northern Burkina Faso. The violence has harmed Ghana's farming trade.
Several Ghanaian tomato traders were killed in the incident. This has made it harder for goods to cross the border. It has also made investors worried.
The attack could impact the supply of fruits and vegetables to Ghana. This could lead to higher prices for these important food items. Dr. Oduro Antwi expressed concerns about the safety of traders.
He noted that such events make businesses hesitate to invest in the region. Cross-border trade is vital for food security in Ghana. The government is urged to address these security challenges.
Ensuring the safety of traders is important. It will help maintain stable trade relationships. It will also protect Ghana's food supply.
