Feeding futures together: Ghana–Hungary Agribusiness Forum unites key players in innovation and investment

The Ghana–Hungary Agribusiness Stakeholders Forum has been in Accra, under the theme:
“Feeding Futures Together: Ghana–Hungary Partnership for Agribusiness Innovation.”

The event was jointly organized by the Embassy of Hungary and the Governance Africa Foundation (GAfF) as part of a growing effort to foster sustainable agribusiness collaboration between both countries.

The Forum brought together key institutions and influential stakeholders in the agribusiness and development finance space, including: the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, 24-Hour Economy and Accelerated Export Development Secretariat, Millennium Development Authority (MiDA), Ghana EXIM, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA).

In the technical presentations segment, Agrofeed Kft, a leading Hungarian livestock feed manufacturer, shared insights into their operations across Europe and their commitment to establishing a presence in Ghana. The company expressed a strong interest in identifying local district-level opportunities to set up feed plants tailored to various livestock sectors. Agrofeed emphasized the importance of quality animal nutrition in advancing productivity and food security.

Additionally, a presentation was delivered on behalf of Balbona TETRA Kft, one of Hungary’s prominent poultry breeding companies. Delivered by the Commercial Attaché of the Hungarian Embassy, the presentation highlighted the company’s global role in poultry genetics, hatchery solutions, and export trade. Their readiness to explore strategic partnerships within Ghana’s poultry sector was met with enthusiasm from stakeholders.

A major highlight was the participation of Ghana EXIM Bank, which pledged support for both existing agribusiness enterprises and new entrants across the agricultural value chain. This commitment further strengthens the business case for attracting foreign investment and developing sustainable models for agro-industrial growth in Ghana.

Governance Africa Foundation is a development-focused civil society organization committed to promoting governance and sustainable livelihoods. Its flagship initiative, the Schools and Households Agriculture Revival Program (SHARP), is a nationwide youth and community-centered agricultural program aimed at instilling entrepreneurship and food self-sufficiency through crop cultivation, animal rearing, and agribusiness training in schools and homes across Ghana.

The Forum served as a timely platform for forging stronger ties between Hungarian agribusiness players and Ghanaian institutions. It is expected to spark a series of follow-up engagements and pilot projects across regions, particularly in areas of poultry production, feed manufacturing, and agribusiness financing.
