During the 14th Ghana Garden and Flower Show, she emphasized the need for enhanced support to help businesses in the sector expand, create jobs, access larger markets, and compete internationally. She stressed the importance of addressing the entire value chain, from production to transportation, storage, quality standards, financing, and market access.
