Hold onto your kente, Ghana! Something massive is brewing in Labone, and it's all about celebrating the incredible talent and hustle of our very own entrepreneurs! Get ready for the 'Ghanaba Market – Freedom Edition', a three-day extravaganza set to transform Premiere Place- Labone from Thursday, March 26th to Saturday, March 28th, 2026. Yes, mark your calendars because you absolutely do not want to miss this!
Organized by the visionary teams behind 'Market Gha Na Ba' and 'My Ghana Town', this isn't just another market fair. This is a movement! 'Market Gha Na Ba' is a champion for Ghanaian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), dedicated to unlocking market access and boosting trade. And 'My Ghana Town'? They're the go-to spot for all things innovative, authentic, and beautifully packaged 'Made-In-Ghana'. When these two powerhouses link up, you know it's going to be epic!
Why This Market Matters: Fueling Ghana's Economic Engine!
In a world increasingly looking inwards, supporting local has become more critical than ever. Our SMEs are not just small businesses; they are the vibrant heartbeat of our economy, the innovation hubs, and the job creators our nation desperately needs. Think about it: our local barbershop, the tailor down the street, that amazing waakye joint – those are SMEs!
Rosemary Beryl Archer, the dynamic CEO leading both 'My Ghana Town' and 'Market Gha Na Ba', hit the nail on the head when she emphasized the monumental role of SMEs. These businesses, she highlighted, are the backbone of economies globally, contributing over 50% of GDP and accounting for a staggering 60-70% of employment in many countries. In Ghana, their impact is even more profound.
Can you believe our SMEs make up approximately 85% of manufacturing employment? They represent around 85% of our private sector and nearly 92% of all businesses! That's not just a statistic; that's countless dreams, families supported, and communities thriving. This market is a direct spotlight on their ingenuity, dedication, and the sheer quality of 'Made-In-Ghana' products.
More Than Just Shopping: An Experience You Can't Miss!

Prepare to discover an incredible array of products at hugely discounted rates. We're talking everything from mouth-watering food and unique ingredients to refreshing beverages, luxurious skin and beauty care lines, trendy textiles, stunning apparel, chic garments, and top-quality leather footwear and slippers. Whatever your need, chances are a Ghanaian entrepreneur has crafted it with love and excellence!

The 'Freedom Edition': A Movement Towards Self-Reliance!
The name 'Freedom Edition' isn't just catchy; it carries significant weight. It speaks to economic freedom, self-reliance, and national pride. In an era where we're constantly reminded to 'buy Ghana, build Ghana', this market is a tangible manifestation of that call. It's about breaking free from the over-reliance on foreign imports and truly appreciating the world-class quality we produce right here at home.
Imagine the social media buzz! #MadeInGhana #GhanabaMarket #SupportLocal #GhanaToTheWorld. This event is set to inspire countless posts, shares, and conversations, amplifying the message that Ghanaian products are not just good, they are exceptional. It’s about building a stronger, more resilient economy from the ground up, one local business at a time. It’s about fostering a sense of community where consumers and producers connect, building trust and loyalty that will last long after the fair closes.
For every item bought, every business connection made, and every new product discovered, you're not just making a purchase; you're investing in Ghana's future. You're empowering a local family, fostering innovation, and contributing directly to the growth of our beloved nation.
