Ghana: Ghana Grain and Feed - Update - 2024
Link to report:
Ghana in 2024 has experienced drought-induced crop failures and low yields in eight out of its 16 administrative regions. FAS Accra (Post) consequently is revising up Market Year (MY) 2024/2025 import figures for wheat, corn, and rice due to reports of crop failures in some regions of the country and increased consumption. The Ghanaian government on August 26, 2024, imposed a temporary ban on exports of key grains including corn and rice, in an attempt to ensure national food security. Tax exemption has been listed among the incentives to encourage the Ghanaian private sector to import corn and rice to forestall potential shortages.
