Food group supports ban on some goods by land

The Food and Beverages Association of Ghana (FABAG) has announced its support for the government’s recent decision regarding the land transportation of specific goods.

FABAG believes this ban could lead to higher state revenues. It also stated that the measure would help reduce the amount of goods being smuggled into the country.

The statement was issued on March 12 2026. FABAG commended the Ministry of Finance for implementing the restriction.

The Association also recognized the Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, for his role in introducing the measure.

The exact types of goods affected by the ban were not detailed in the statement.

FABAG’s backing suggests industries may see positive effects from the policy.

This decision aims to strengthen economic controls and improve ways of collecting taxes.
