The Ministry of Trade, Agribusiness and Industry (MoTAI) has reaffirmed its commitment to attracting strategic investments into the country’s textile and garment sector, as part of efforts to boost industrialization and job creation under the 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Programme.
As part of this agenda, the Ministry, in collaboration with key partners including GIZ, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Ghana Free Zones Authority (GFZA), Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA), Jobs for Economic Transformation (JET), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the International Labour Organization (ILO), is hosting Ghana’s Inbound Textiles and Apparel Roadshow from 10th–12th November 2025 in Accra.
The Roadshow follows successful engagements with international investors at the Munich Fabric Start and the Textiles and Garments Roadshow in Germany, organized by GIZ earlier this year. It aims to showcase Ghana as West Africa’s leading destination for ethical and sustainable apparel production.
Highlights of the three-day event include guided visits to leading garment factories and industrial parks such as Tema and the Bright Industrial Zone, policy presentations by government officials, matchmaking sessions with local manufacturers, and a networking cocktail with industry stakeholders and diplomats.
As part of activities leading to the Roadshow, a delegation of investors met with officials of MoTAI on Monday, 11th November 2025, at the Ministry’s conference room in Accra, to express interest in investing in Ghana’s textile and garment sector.
During the meeting, the Head of Strategic Anchor Directorate Mr. Kwasi Antwi, presented a draft policy framework for the development of the textile and garment industry, outlining key government interventions to enhance competitiveness and value addition.
The National Coordinator of the Association of Ghana Apparel Manufacturers (AGAM), Nana Poquah Adiamah, also made a presentation on Ghana’s textiles and garment landscape.
She reaffirmed AGAM’s readiness to collaborate with both local and foreign investors, emphasizing the Association’s focus on compliance, capacity building, and administrative support for its members.
She further noted that AGAM is leveraging the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and existing trade policies to expand market access and drive growth in the sector.
The Ministry expressed optimism that the Inbound Roadshow and the ongoing engagements with investors will strengthen Ghana’s position as a competitive hub for apparel manufacturing in Africa, creating decent jobs and boosting non-traditional exports
