Ghana has been participating in the 2019 Tea Expo being held at Hangzhou, China. Ghana was invited by the Chinese Government as Special Guest Country.
Food and Agriculture Minister, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, led a 20-member delegation to promote Ghana's chocolate and other cocoa products to Chinese consumers.
The delegation included a strong contingent from Cocoa Processing Company, Ghana Cocobod, Private cocoa processor Plotte Limited from Takoradi, MOFA, Ministry of Trade and others.
Ghana's stand became the toast of the Expo with hundreds of Chinese visitors streaming through to taste our cocoa products. On the day set aside to honour Ghana, the Chinese Minister for Agriculture and Rural Affairs Mr. Han Changfu and his deputy Dr Qu Dongyu visited the nation's stand.
The huge crowds were entertained by a Ghanaian dancing troupe accompanied by traditional music, much to the appreciation and amusement of the Ministers and the teeming visitors.
The organisers of the the Expo confirmed Ghana's stand was by far, the most popular.

Your right only pictures nothing
there is nothing in this article that shows our cocoa was a hot cake. Our journalists have become lazy and keep on writing sensational headlines without any substance in the real article. We in the diaspora are dying for news about how Ghana is performing. We need statistics, hard facts and proofs. But anytime you turn to the electronic media, all we are told is propaganda, how Ghanaian leaders insult each other, etc. Till date, no government institution is able to tell us about the infrastructure Ex-President Mahama built, how much road work was done, etc. How far can we go if we don't even know where we are now? How can the people vote objectively when every information out there is unsubstantiated? Please, Peace FM and Ghanaian journalists, give us facts and leave the judgement to us.
