Fidelity Bank Ghana trade and agricultural advocacy

Overview

Fidelity Bank Ghana has advocated for structural and financial improvements to bolster national trade and economic self-reliance.

Initially, the bank focused on addressing trade barriers by calling for enhanced stakeholder collaboration, harmonized systems, and improved data quality to support regional growth. The bank highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence and robotic process automation to modernize commerce and increase operational efficiency, specifically noting the use of the Publican AI System alongside customs management.

Subsequently, the bank expanded its focus to the agricultural sector, urging increased financing across the entire value chain. To achieve agricultural sovereignty, officials emphasized the need for investment in processing, packaging, logistics, and quality standards rather than just increasing raw production. The bank noted that while non-traditional agricultural exports reached US$5 billion in 2025, significant gaps remain in cold storage, energy supplies, and certification to bridge the distance between farms and final markets.
