About the platform

One platform for Ghana's horticulture value chain

The Horticulture Business Platform is a GNBCC-led project that unites Ghana's horticulture value chain under one practical business platform, with support from the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Built on the legacy of GhanaVeg and HortiFresh, HBP connects farmers, SMEs, exporters, input suppliers, farmer-based organisations, buyers, service providers and sector partners.

The platform enables its members to collaborate, access markets, share knowledge, develop partnerships and contribute to policy discussions affecting Ghana's horticulture sector.

HBP transforms individual businesses and organisations into a stronger, connected sector community with a shared voice and practical opportunities for growth.
