The President of African Resources PLC, dealers in fresh natural ornamental plants, Dr. Abdelkareem Noureldaim, has reiterated the call for increased collaboration between the government of Ghana and key players in the floriculture business to create institutional support to develop the sector and attract new investors.
Speaking to Lord Kweku Sekyi during a tour of the floral department of African Resources at Palms Square Mall in Accra, Dr. Noureldaim said Ghana has the potential to become one of the leading producers and exporters of ornamental plants which can generate billions of dollars in foreign exchange to boost the nation's gross domestic product (GDP).
He said, key actors such as the Ghana Flower Growers Association (GFGA) and flower importers must be engaged to collect statistical data to establish the state of the industry as well as its potential for employment creation and export.
