Madam Owusu-Kuffour informed the Committee that shippers can obtain relevant documentation from the regional offices of the FDA, therefore they do not need not travel to the headquarters in Accra for that purpose.<\/p>\n
\u201cMerchants and shippers travel all the way to Accra to access the services of Agencies such as the FDA, Ghana Standards Authority, Ghana Export Promotion Authority, among others when the same services could be rendered at the regional offices of those Agencies. This happens because they do not inquire from us\u201d, she noted.<\/p>\n
The Tema Branch Manager of the GSA, Mr. Charles Sey encouraged the shippers to report any challenges they face in their import and export operations to the MDAs to enable tailor-made solutions to be facilitated for their resolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cIssues can only be resolved or addressed when they are reported. Reporting the issues also helps us to know if we are putting in place the right framework to support and grow your business. The economy grows if you grow, so come to us to support you\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
