    If Eu do want tuna from ghana why can't we look at the africa and middle east markets meanwhile can we also boycott importation of frozen and tasteless meat and chicken from EU ?

    I wholeheaartedly support a ban on importation of meat and chicken from the EU.

    This would help our local farmers boost agric production, and save us foreign exchange.

    There was a young lady from contuadom
    whose clothing was always in patches.
    When she was asked why,

    Whatever the case just return the favour. Just find new markets if it is nothing to do with quality, cancel orders from them and divert the orders somewhere else. Two can play that game, and don't go begging.

    as long as its done clean and safe it can be sold in usa..Even Bumble Bee(brand) had recall due to cans not sealing!

    Thank God! I hope the ban remains for the next 6 years. That way we can have more tuna to sell and buy locally. Ordinary tuna is now too expensive on the market. God you are too good sometimes.

    Whatever, I think you have made the most brilliant point here, our people deserve better. If this means the Tuna companies will develop their home market well, then to God be the glory. Ghanafou eat the Tuna and be happy.

  • JoJo 11 years ago

    The very reason EU has banned the importation of Tuna is to try to force our government to protect the Tuna for future generations. If you want to sell all the Tuna in our seas just ask the Chinese to help they will empty the ...
