Investment and Export Support for Local Companies
Ghana is quickly emerging as a prime market for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with several UAE firms investing in the country in infrastructure, communication and tourism. Ghanaian manufacturers can take advantage of Dubai’s $4-billion textile market, media reports in Ghana quoted Darkwah as saying.
The roundtable brought together textile manufacturers, apparel designers, retailers and other stakeholders interested in building stronger commercial links between Ghana and Dubai.
Participants discussed access to investment, production expansion and the practical requirements involved in entering export markets. Local manufacturers also expressed an interest in expanding beyond Ghana and improving the systems needed to serve international customers.
For the Ghana textile apparel industry, access to investment could support the modernization of production facilities, digital systems, product development and export operations. Industry representatives also emphasized the importance of easier procedures for processing locally manufactured goods for international markets.
Opportunities for the Ghana Textile Apparel Industry
Dubai offers Ghanaian manufacturers, designers and retailers access to a major commercial and retail centre serving customers across the Middle East and other international markets.
The Dubai International Chamber office in Ghana works to strengthen trade and commercial relations between Ghana and the UAE. Its services include business matching, B2B meetings, supplier sourcing, market intelligence, trade missions and business development support across West Africa.
These services can help companies identify potential investors, distributors, retail partners and customers. They may also provide businesses with practical information about entering Dubai and using the city as a platform for broader regional expansion.
Additional background is available in Kohan Textile Journal’s overview of local production and its report on the country’s 2030 investment roadmap.
Building Stronger Commercial Links Between Ghana and Dubai
Closer cooperation could create opportunities for manufacturers seeking capital, fashion businesses looking for international buyers and retailers interested in reaching new consumer markets.
The initiative also reflects the wider potential for increasing bilateral trade between Ghana and the UAE in retail, fashion, textiles, infrastructure, communications and tourism.
