Ghana, Morocco Deepen Economic Ties With Focus on Agriculture, Trade, Education, Energy and Infrastructure
Ghana and Morocco have agreed to broaden economic cooperation across agriculture, trade, education, energy and infrastructure, officials said following bilateral talks in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Ghana’s Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita said the upcoming Ghana–Morocco Business Forum in November will serve as a platform to translate commitments into investment and trade opportunities.
Agriculture featured prominently, with Morocco pledging continued fertilizer shipments to Ghana, including 40,000 bags recently delivered. Bourita said Rabat is ready to coordinate deliveries with Ghanaian authorities ahead of planting seasons to boost food production. Cooperation between Moroccan agricultural experts and Ghanaian universities is also being expanded.
On education, Morocco has increased government scholarships for Ghanaian students, which both sides called an investment in long-term human capital. In energy and infrastructure, Morocco is preparing to send a business delegation to Accra to explore opportunities in power generation, transport, and construction.
The two nations also agreed to move toward a full visa exemption after waiving entry restrictions earlier this year. Officials said the measure is expected to ease business mobility and encourage investment.
Ablakwa said the new phase of cooperation positions both countries to leverage the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) for broader regional impact.
