The Program Manager of HortiFresh, Mrs Sheila Assibey-Yeboah, concluded that this year’s fair would end with an Award Ceremony where certain companies that have exhibited some level of innovation and branding would be recognised.

She further encouraged all the exhibitors to put up their best to make this event a success.

The Fruit and Vegetable Fair is an annual event that provides a platform for the horticulture sector actors to exhibit their products and services.

This will help create market opportunities for these businesses and establish new business opportunities for stakeholders.

The fair also seeks to generate partnership and increase HortiFresh’s network base through visitors willing to engage in Horticulture activities as well as provide information about HortiFresh’s opportunities.
