  "account": "Ghana is collaborating with a private investor to create a cut-flower export corridor connecting Daboya to the Tamale Air Cargo Hub, with the aim of exporting to Europe, West Africa, and the Gulf. Presidential Advisor Augustus \"Goosie\" Obuadum Tanoh announced this initiative as part of the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme. The corridor will utilize the Daboya Singa pathway and be airlifted to the Tamale Air Cargo Hub for distribution to various markets. Tanoh emphasized that building an industry involves connecting production, aggregation, processing, logistics, and markets, supported by finance, standards, skills, and technology. Ghana has the potential to compete internationally, given its $75 million in mango exports to 42 markets in 2024. Comparisons were made to Kenya's successful flower industry, which earned $556 million from exports in the previous year. Ghana already has a domestic flower market, as evidenced by Valentine's Day imports. The government plans to develop infrastructure across horticultural value chains, with the Tamale Air Cargo Hub playing a crucial role in enhancing logistics for high-value agricultural exports. The strategy aims to create jobs, expand exports, build industries, and protect the environment.",
