Business News of Thursday, 12 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Member of Parliament for Tano North, Dr Gideon Boako, has called on the government to lift Ghana’s ban on grain exports, arguing that the restriction is unnecessary amid a surplus of food on the market. Addressing the press at the forecourt of Parliament, Dr Boako questioned why farmers should be prevented from exporting their produce when local demand appears weak. Because these farmers are going to use the proceeds that they will get from the sale of these foodstuffs to go into the next farming season,” Dr Boako said. He added: “The ban should be lifted, if indeed it is well established that there's food glut on the market. There is no point putting a ban on export of food when there's food on the market and people are not buying.
