The Food and Beverages Association of Ghana (FABAG) has announced its support for the government’s decision to stop the land transportation of certain goods. This measure was put in place to help the country earn more money.
FABAG stated that this ban will also help prevent goods from being smuggled into and out of the country illegally. The association believes this will lead to better revenue collection for the government.
The Ministry of Finance and the Finance Minister, Cassiel Ato Forson, introduced this policy. FABAG issued a statement on March 12, 2026, commending the Ministry for this action.
The association feels this is a positive step for the country’s economy. It shows a commitment to strengthening state revenue streams.
By restricting certain goods, the government aims to ensure that trade is conducted through official channels. This can lead to greater transparency in business dealings.
FABAG’s endorsement suggests that businesses within the food and beverage sector see the benefits of these measures. They believe it will create a fairer market.
