They said most of the items are brought to the market from various parts of the country and nations within the West African sub- region and the cost of transportation affect the prices.
Mr Patrick Mensah, an artist and a trader told the GNA that the low patronage of his goods and services is a source of worry to him since the arts and crafts market provides employment opportunities to many people especially those who have developed their skills in carving, painting, designing and metal works to service the market.
A trader who described herself as Madam Nkrumah said most of the buyers are made up of those purchasing a few items and those placing orders for large quantities of various products. She said tourists and other foreigners visiting Ghana, who use to buy in large quantities are no longer doing so. Mathias Aidoo, a trader also complained about the high revenue they pay to the tax authorities, which she said eventually affect the value of the products for sale. Source: GNA, Sep 2015 |
