It has, however, been hit hard by the outbreak of the coronavirus and Boateng is convinced Ghanaian exporters can diversify business operations there as there are opportunities present in the country.
Per a citibusinessnews.com report, he added that most Chinese are in dire need of cocoa products and cash crops such as cashews and soybeans.
Information available shows that trade volumes between Ghana and China reached $7.3 billion in 2018.
