Exporters say the signing of the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) has benefited them.

The EPA, a proposed trade arrangement between Europe and African, Caribbean and the Pacific Countries will enable parties to export goods to both sides duty free.

Ghana signed an interim EPA, dubbed EPA Lite, to continue exporting to the European Market when the Cotonou and Lome agreements expired last year.

Under the interim EPA, the country has continued to export duty free to the EU, while awaiting the conclusion of  negotiations  of the full deal.
