About Us
Who We Are
The Chamber of Agribusiness Ghana (CAG) is the nation’s foremost private‑sector agribusiness association, representing the collective voice of agricultural enterprises, investors, farmer groups, cooperatives, processors and service providers across Ghana’s agri‑food value chain. We are a non‑governmental, non‑partisan member‑based organisation that connects public and private stakeholders to promote agribusiness development through advocacy, trade facilitation, investment and innovation.
Established to drive innovation, policy dialogue and private‑sector participation, CAG works to transform Ghana’s agribusiness landscape into a competitive, technology‑driven and sustainable sector capable of feeding Africa and the world. We act as the bridge between agribusiness actors, policymakers, research institutions, financial entities and international partners — ensuring that agriculture remains at the centre of Ghana’s economic transformation.
