QuePosts Portal Set to Power Long Term Growth and Visibility for Ghanaian Businesses

  Daily commercial life across Ghana reflects energy, resilience, and creativity. Markets stay active, small enterprises open early, and entrepreneurs continue building services that support communities across Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, and many growing towns. Business owners work hard to satisfy customers, manage rising operational costs, and keep services running smoothly. Still, one challenge continues to slow progress for many enterprises: visibility in the digital age. Customers now rely heavily on online searches when looking for services, jobs, events, or nearby businesses. Many Ghanaian companies provide excellent services, but customers often fail to discover them online at the right moment. The result becomes missed opportunities for both businesses and customers.

Ghana Records Historic 6 Million Ounces Gold Output in 2025, But Royalty Overhaul Threatens 2026 Growth

  Ghana produced a record 6 million ounces of gold in 2025, according to provisional industry data, cementing its position as Africa’s top gold producer. The figures, released by the Ghana Chamber of Mines , show that large-scale mining companies contributed 2.9 million ounces — unchanged from 2024 — while artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) drove the bulk of the growth, rising to about 3.1 million ounces. Despite the milestone performance, the industry has warned that projected output of 6.5 million ounces in 2026 is at risk due to Ghana’s planned overhaul of its mineral royalty regime. Artisanal Mining and High Gold Prices Boost Output Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber, Kenneth Ashigbey, said the record production was largely supported by surging global gold prices and reforms aimed at formalising artisanal mining. Speaking on the sidelines of the Mining Indaba , Ashigbey noted that record-high bullion prices encouraged more artisanal gold to enter formal channels, follow...

Government to Shoulder $150m COCOBOD Losses as Cabinet Orders Immediate Payment to Cocoa Farmers

  The government has announced it will absorb an estimated $150 million in losses incurred by the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) as Cabinet directs the immediate purchase and payment for cocoa beans already supplied by farmers. The move comes after Ghana reduced its cocoa farmgate price by 28 per cent — the first such cut since at least 2020 — in response to declining global cocoa prices and rising payment arrears owed to farmers. When announcing the price adjustment and a broader reform package, Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson assured cocoa farmers that outstanding payments would be honoured. Cabinet has directed COCOBOD to commence immediate payment of all affected cocoa farmers,” he stated. However, questions lingered over how the payments would be financed, given COCOBOD’s well-documented liquidity constraints in recent years. Speaking on Top Story on Joy FM , Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Ampem Nyarko clarified that the government would step in to absorb the losses associa...

GACL MD Calls for Stronger International Connectivity to Position Accra as West Africa’s Aviation Hub

  The Managing Director of Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Yvonne Nana Afriyiye Opare, has called for expanded international and regional air connectivity as a critical step toward positioning Accra as the true aviation hub of West Africa. Speaking during a panel discussion at the 5th AviationGhana Breakfast Meeting held in Accra on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Opare said achieving hub status requires deliberate efforts to increase flight options and improve transit traffic through Ghana. We often talk about Ghana becoming the aviation hub. There are a lot of things we have to do; there is a lot of work ahead of us. Number one is connectivity in the region,” she stated. She noted that intra-African travel remains inefficient, with journeys between African countries sometimes taking up to 24 hours due to limited direct connections. According to her, this undermines the continent’s aviation growth potential and presents an opportunity for Ghana to lead improvements in regional ...
