Policy InstrumentImport restrictions

DescriptionIn response to reports suggesting that the ban on rice imports via land borders had been lifted, officials clarified that restrictions had only been eased for those importers that had made financial commitments ahead of the ban's imposition. With those exceptions, rice imports remained restricted to the ports of Tema and Takoradi and to the Kotoka International Airport.
