The Export Bridge Program is specifically designed to empower Ghanaian companies to successfully export and distribute high-quality horticulture and cocoa products to the European Union (EU) market. This program aims to bridge the gap between local producers and international consumers, to foster sustainable growth and expand market access for Ghanaian enterprises.

We are inviting export-ready Ghanaian companies, whether new to exporting or looking to scale existing operations, to participate. The program will enable selected participants to share their product samples with our partners in the Netherlands, who will play a vital role in distributing your samples within the EU and providing invaluable feedback on product suitability and improvement areas for European market demands.

What to Expect

Market Feedback: Receive direct insights and constructive feedback from EU market partners on your product samples.

Product Enhancement: Work closely with industry experts to refine your products. This includes guidance on:

  • Adhering to international standards
  • Optimizing packaging
  • Ensuring accurate and compliant labeling
  • Meeting other critical export requirements

Path to Full Program: Successful completion of the pilot program may lead to selection for the comprehensive full program. In the full program, GNBCC will take a more direct role in collecting, exporting, and distributing your products on a larger scale across the EU.

Eligibility

To apply, your company must:

  • Be a registered company in Ghana
  • Possess a valid FDA certificate
  • Possess a valid HACCP certificate
