Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the market volume for coffee, husks, skins, and substitutes in Ghana showed considerable volatility, ranging from 638 t to 864 t. Annual production remained steady at 736 t, while shifts in import and export flows drove the market's movements.

A notable contraction occurred in 2020, with the market volume falling to 638 t, a 17% drop from the previous year. This decline was primarily due to a surge in exports, which tripled to 159 t. An industry emphasis on coffee quality and access to high-value niche markets encouraged greater overseas shipments, reducing the quantity available for domestic consumption.

The market rebounded sharply to 864 t in 2021 as exports collapsed to under 1 t and imports increased. Subsequent years saw renewed volatility, with the market volume easing to 717 t in 2022 and a slight recovery to 743 t in 2023, reflecting ongoing fluctuations in trade patterns.
