The collaborative efforts between The International Trade Center and the Ro­busta Coffee Agency of Africa and Madagascar (ACRAM) came to fruition as stakeholders from Ghana’s coffee sector gathered recently for a two-day engage­ment.

The event focused on foster­ing collaboration, knowledge exchange, and capacity-building among key players in the indus­try.

With the objective of brain­storming on a pricing scheme that aligns with world market prices while ensuring fair remu­neration for farmers based on quality, participants engaged in in-depth discussions and work­shops to address the complexities of the coffee value chain.

Additionally, efforts were made to enhance the capacity of pri­vate sector member organizations in governance, constitution build­ing and strategies that will drive the growth and development of Ghana’s coffee sector.

The engagement served as a platform for stakeholders to share insights, best practices, and establish partnerships that will contribute to the sustainable growth of the coffee industry in Ghana.

Speaking at the event, Vice President of the Coffee Federa­tion of Ghana, Samuel Adimado, praised the International Trade Center (ITC) for the initiative saying “the pricing determination will be fixed in such a way that it makes the business of coffee more profitable and compensa­tory enough so that any investor who wants to go into coffee will be able to participate and earn from the coffee industry”.

The ITC is a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization for trade-re­lated technical cooperation in developing countries.

Ayisi teams up with Fameye for Highlife classic “Sika”

In a follow-up to his successful collaboration with Worlasi on “Everyday People,” Ayisi has once again partnered with prolific songwriter Fameye for a timeless highlife track titled “Sika,” which translates to “Money.”

This track is expected to make waves across Ghana and beyond, as it speaks to the universal pursuit of financial stability in a meaningful, melodious way.

Money, as Ayisi rightly points out, is a universal and never-ending topic of discussion. In “Sika,” both artists reflect on the role money plays in life and the lengths one must go to secure it.

Ayisi emphasizes a strong work ethic, noting that laziness will only lead to hunger and hardship. His message is clear: one must take action and pursue financial stability to navigate life successfully.

On the other hand, Fameye’s verse focuses on the idea of self-reliance when it comes to wealth. He highlights that becoming wealthy is something he must achieve on his own, without waiting for handouts or relying on others.

Fameye’s perspective complements Ayisi’s, creating a well-rounded narrative about ambition, responsibility, and financial independence.

“Sika,” produced by GroovyWrld, is deeply rooted in the classic highlife sound—a genre that has long been a cornerstone of Ghanaian music. The soulful melodies make it an instant classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia, while the contemporary twist keeps it fresh for today’s audience.

Ayisi, widely respected for his independent spirit and unique musical style, has typically preferred working alone, cultivating his own space in the industry. However, his recent collaborations signal a new chapter in his career, one that is more collaborative and expansive.

Through these collaborations, Ayisi is not only broadening his creative horizons but also offering his fans new and exciting musical experiences.

With “Sika,” Ayisi and Fameye remind us that while money may not be everything, the drive to earn and sustain oneself is essential to success.
