The Soya Value Chain Association of Ghana (SVCAG) has criticized the recent ban on soya exports, calling it "uncalled for."
They argue that the ban undermines the interests of farmers and stakeholders in the soya industry, particularly as they lack representation on the Export Restriction Committee responsible for export permits. SVCAG is advocating for reforms to ensure transparency and inclusivity in the export process, emphasizing the critical role of soya in Ghana's economy and the need for effective stakeholder engagement in decision-making processes [2][3][5].
