| The following GAIN reports were released on July 17, 2024. _______ This report outlines Ghanaian government requirements for the importation of food and agricultural products for human and animal consumption. The report aims to assist U.S. exporters by providing an assessment of laws and requirements for food and agricultural products imposed on imports. It also provides points of contact for key Ghanaian government authorities. A major import policy review announced in the 2023 budget statement and economic policy has increased import duties of general goods, including food and agricultural products. This report highlights all major certificates and permits that the Government of Ghana (GoG) requires for exporting food and agricultural products from the United States into the country. It also complements the FAIRS – Annual Country Report for Ghana. The Ghana Food and Drugs Authority (G-FDA) guidelines states that pre-packaged food to be imported for distribution or sale for local consumption shall have at least two-thirds of its shelf-life intact at the time of clearance from the port of entry. Romania continues to be a growing market for U.S. food and agriculture exports. Romania's total resident population is 19.05 million people, which is a marginal increase from previous years, with about 48 percent living in rural areas (2023 data). The annual rate of inflation reached 10.4 percent in 2023, an improvement from the 13.8 percent in 2022. In 2023, Romania's total agricultural imports reached $14.6 billion, a 5 percent increase over 2022, of which 56 percent were sourced from EU Member States (MSs). Germany, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, and the Netherlands were Romania's major trading partners in 2023. Meat, dairy, grains, oilseeds, and beverages were the major product import categories.
