Ghana is set to benefit from China’s new zero-tariff policy, which took effect on May 1, 2026. The policy, aimed at boosting bilateral trade and investment, will provide zero-tariff treatment to products from 53 African countries with which China has diplomatic relations. This move is expected to increase Ghanaian exports, attract investment, promote local processing, and deepen trade and economic cooperation between the two nations.
