  To encourage exporters to repatriate thier forex proceeds there should be incentives such as Export Expansion Grant (EEG) Scheme.

  Let's put a stop to the culture of being an exporter of raw materials and become an exporter of finished goods like fruit juice. We shall earn more if we add value to it. We need fruit juice factories all over the country to buy all these fruits and turn them into manufactured products. Instead of giving this money to them, it should be used to build a couple of fruit juice factories

  All that talk of opening up sounds good but it isn't happening for me and my friends in Ghana. I have shipped 8 packages as gifts to friends in Ghana in the last several months. The fees charged by Customs/Post Office are outrageous exceeding over 400% the value of the items.
  
  For instance, I purchase a Webcam on Ebay for $8 with free shipping and pay $9 USPS shipping fee to Ghana. The Post Office is consistently charging $30 fees and sometimes $40 fees. An 8 year old used laptop gets fees over $100. We have also had damage and theft problems.
  
  This is killing the Ghana economy and the poorer people of Ghana. I will ship no more items into Ghana and that hurts my friends in Ghana.
