Your first door into Taiwan–Ghana trade.

About Taghtrade

A bridge between two economies.

Established in 2020, Taghtrade is a non-profit industrial and commercial organisation that unites Taiwanese business leaders living and working in Ghana.

Taiwan maintains no chamber of commerce and no trade office in Ghana — the nearest is its trade office in Lagos. Taghtrade exists to do that work on the ground: connecting Taiwanese and Ghanaian companies in trade, sourcing and investment, and giving members practical help with the realities of doing business in both markets.

Promoting mutual growth and opportunity across diverse sectors.

Our mission

01

Promote friendship & cultural exchange

02

Build a professional image

Facilitate trade & investment

Create opportunities for bilateral investment and expand trade relations with Taiwan's economic authorities and global enterprises.

Membership

Join the network.

Members get introductions to counterparties in both markets, practical help with the realities of doing business in Ghana, access to our events and delegations, and a network of people who have already done what you are about to attempt.

  • Named trade introductions — to buyers, suppliers, distributors and agents in both markets
  • Taiwan–Ghana business matching — tell us the requirement, we find the counterparty
  • Ghana market entry — registration, GIPC, permits, Free Zones, customs, banking and warehousing
  • Members’ group and alerts — tariff and regulatory changes, opportunities, and warnings worth having
  • Events and delegations — member gatherings, visiting delegations, the annual meeting
  • Trusted referrals — clearing agents, lawyers, accountants and logistics firms members have actually used
  • Issues raised collectively with Ghanaian authorities, rather than one company at a time
  • Dispute-resolution guidance — an informal first step before lawyers, and referral when it is needed
  • A listing in the Taghtrade member directory

Who should join

Full members — Taiwanese-owned or Taiwanese-managed businesses registered in Ghana, and Taiwanese professionals and executives resident here. Full members vote at the annual meeting.

Associate members — Ghanaian companies trading with, sourcing from or seeking investment from Taiwan; Taiwanese companies evaluating Ghana; and professional firms serving both communities. Same benefits, no vote.
