The SIPAB team organised and moderated the expert panel on the opportunities and challenges in Agribusiness for investors at the Ghana EU Business Forum 2024

To enhance the agricultural value chain in Ghana, there is a critical need for advancements in proper data/information sharing systems, technology, machinery, transportation and energy infrastructure.

In order to drive sustainable agricultural development in Ghana, there is a critical need to support the private sector as well as leverage international cooperation to bridge the global investment gaps.
As much as there are opportunities in Ghana- EU cooperation, there are also increasing challenges that deter investment in the sector. With a panel of private sector actors from Ghana and Europe, development institutions and policy makers, we will discuss these issues and find solutions for mutually beneficial opportunities along the agribusiness value chains.

Samuel Anum:
Samuel is a high level representative from the Ghana Industrial Property Office

Nancy Samuriwo an expert on intellectual property and a representative from AfriPI

Courage Komla Besah-Adanu (Ph.D.)

Closing the Loop: A Sustainable Approach to Beach Cleanup
Introduction

Beach pollution is a major environmental problem that plagues coastal communities around the world. Litter, debris, and other forms of waste can harm marine life, contaminate beaches, and detract from the beauty of our coastlines.

Closing the loop is a sustainable approach to beach cleanup that aims to eliminate waste at the source and create a circular economy for beach waste. This approach involves four key steps:

Clean Up: The first step is to remove all visible waste from the beach. This includes litter, debris, and other items that could harm marine life or pollute the environment.
Separation: Once the waste has been collected, it is important to sort it into different categories. This allows for efficient recycling and composting of materials that can be reused.
Infrastructure: To prevent future beach pollution, it is important to invest in permanent waste infrastructure. This includes trash cans, recycling bins, and composting facilities.
Networking: Networking with local communities and businesses is essential to create a long-term solution to beach pollution. This can involve educational campaigns, volunteer programs, and policy changes.

As part of the Hamburg Business Expedition with the agribusinesses, we took the delegates to different shops including large retail shops in the city for them to observe, interact and learn from retail outfits about the food business in Germany.

They used this opportunity to learn about packaging, labelling, marketing and consumer preferences.

Consumers of food products are motivated by various factors. During the Hamburg business expedition with the agribusinesses, we took the delegates to different shops including Afro Shops in the city for them to observe, interact and learn from retail outfits about the food business in Germany.

As part of the SIPAB Hamburg expedition for Agribusinesses 2024 we had the opportunity to visit Hof Martin Lüdeke via Bauernverband Hamburg e.V. which is located in Hamburg.

As a first time visit to the farm we went with one of the recognised women farmers in Ghana Munirat Kwadus who has local experience in animal farming and as an exchange program she was excited to have learned and gained more knowledge and ideas about how to improve her farm practices in a sustainable way.

Farmer Martin Lüdeke (President of the Hamburger Farmers’ Association) and .sybille gave us an exclusive tour of the place including detailed information about their practices. We learnt a lot about the management of their poultry and angus breed of cattle including their feeding, breeding, animal health practices, data management, renewable wind-energy management and operational machineries on the farm.

Thank you .sybille
