The UK-Ghana Chamber of Commerce (UKGCC) has launched a Trade Resource Centre to link Ghanaian exporters with British buyers, the chamber said on 25 September.
The centre was set up with the UK-Ghana Jobs and Economic Transformation (JET) Programme, which the British government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office funds. It was unveiled at the three-day UK-Ghana Trade & Investment Summit 2026.
It arrives as both governments try to push trade beyond its current level. Bilateral trade reached about £1.6 billion by the fifth anniversary of the UK-Ghana Trade Partnership Agreement (TPA), up 12.5 per cent since 2024, according to the British High Commission in Accra. On 1 June 2026, during President John Dramani Mahama’s visit to the United Kingdom, the two countries signed a Growth Partnership covering 2026 to 2028. It builds on deals worth up to £215 million signed at a Ghana investment summit in London.
UKGCC Executive Director Adjoba Kyiamah said the centre was meant to address the information and market-access problems that firms face when trading between the two countries. She described it as a sign of the chamber moving “beyond conversations about trade” towards practical support.
According to the chamber, Ghanaian exporters will be able to get:
- guidance on specific markets;
- help preparing to export;
- referrals to technical experts;
- introductions to British buyers.
UK importers looking to source from Ghana will be offered market intelligence, partner referrals and help building commercial links. The chamber said it would work with the UK’s Department for Business and Trade in Accra, the Ghana Export Promotion Authority, sector associations and finance providers. It did not say how firms can apply for the service or whether it will charge fees.
Eugene Sangmortey, Team Lead at UK-Ghana JET, said using the TPA to open up the UK market to Ghanaian manufacturers was vital for trade diversification and job creation. He said the Ghanaian government had approved industrial policy frameworks for automotive components, textiles and garments, and pharmaceuticals, with technical assistance from the programme.
JET has previously said it aims to attract £120 million in investment into priority manufacturing sectors and help create at least 7,000 jobs.
The UKGCC is marking its 10th anniversary this year.
