Ghanaian onion traders have welcomed Trade, Agribusiness and Industry Minister Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare for her role in resolving the recent dispute that halted onion trade between Ghana and Nigeria. Both the Accra Onion Sellers and Importers Cooperative Society and the Cross Border Women Traders Association commended the Minister's efforts in facilitating the return of onion movement across the two countries after Nigeria halted exports to Ghana.
Traders expressed concern over the uncertainty caused by the dispute, which threatened livelihoods along the supply chain.
The Minister addressed stakeholders in Accra on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at a stakeholder meeting. She urged all parties involved in both countries to resolve the impasse and enhance economic cooperation. Osman Mohammed, the PRO of the Accra Onion Sellers and Importers Cooperative Society, reported that all four Ghanaian trucks carrying onions from Nigeria held up were released, along with Nigerian trucks already in Ghana that had completed offloading their consignments.
Traders expressed optimism that the Minister's intervention would pave the way for a lasting resolution and bolster agricultural trade between Ghana and Nigeria.
