Accra, 26 October 2026

The Consumer Goods, Retail and Agri-Business Committee of the American Chamber of Commerce Ghana (AmCham Ghana) met on Monday, 26 October 2026. Members reviewed progress since the last session and agreed priorities for the months ahead.

The meeting was led by Committee Chair Clarence Amenyah, Head of Herbalife Ghana, and Vice Chair Max Essoh Latte, Managing Director of Cargill Ghana. The committee also welcomed a new member representative.

Members heard updates on the Chamber’s engagements with the Food and Drugs Authority and the Ghana Revenue Authority on issues raised by member companies. Discussions covered:

• the need for reliable industry and trade data to guide investment decisions
• port congestion and consistent customs classification
• poultry sourcing, cold-chain capacity and stronger links with local suppliers
• the impact of the new tax on digital subscriptions, on which the Chamber invites member feedback

Members agreed to share information more actively, to take part in a planned study of members’ economic contribution to Ghana, and to use the Chamber’s trade and investment desk to connect with potential U.S. partners.

AmCham Ghana thanks the committee’s leadership and members for their time and contributions. The committee will continue to raise its members’ interests with the relevant government agencies.
