Accra (Greater Accra) 27 July '99

Organisers of Grand Sales '99, the one stop market for buyers and sellers, have appealed to participants and exhibitors to slash down their prices to enable the event live up to its true status.

Mr Prince Quarcoo, a Director of the Ghana Trade Fair Company (GTFC), the organisers, said the situation where prices are basically just the same or in some instances even higher than that of the open market, does not augur well for the objective of the event.

Mr Quarcoo who was speaking to the GNA in Accra on Monday, said preparations so far towards hosting of Grand Sales ''99 said their objective is to provide, under one roof, various items at a competitive price for the public.

The Sales open on Thursday, July 29, at the Trade Fair Centre with 285 foreign and local participants who will feature consumer goods from textiles to electrical appliances.

He urged them to ensure that only quality products are exhibited.
