It was a great honour to be part of the organising team for the Ghana Horticulture Expo ’26, representing the Ghana Union of Professional Students (GUPS) in my capacity as General Secretary.

Funny enough, agriculture has always been close to my heart. Growing up, I was that child who was fascinated by plants, our indigenous environment, farming and everything green. 😂

I never imagined that years later, I would be sitting at the table helping to organise a national horticulture expo celebrating that very sector.

It was a beautiful experience learning, connecting and appreciating the incredible possibilities within Ghana’s agricultural and horticultural space.

Maybe the little girl who loved plants knew something I didn’t. 😹 #agriculture #ghana #green

One key takeaway was entrepreneurs should be able to explain within a minute what their business offers, the problem it solves and why a customer shoukd buy.

Thank you to all the @hbcghana alumni who participated, shared their experience and made the session practical and engaging.

The final week of the Horticulture Business Challenge (HBC) 2026 wrapped up an incredible journey of learning, collaboration, and innovation.

Participants presented their final solutions, submitted internship reports, and handed over project deliverables developed for their host companies.

The visit also highlighted Hendy Farms’ strong commitment to sustainability through solar-powered irrigation and solar drying 🌞

A big thank you to Hendy Farms for the warm welcome and for sharing such valuable industry insights.
