The Ghanaian agrofood & plastprintpack market

Food & beverage technology: From €59 million in 2017 to €112 million in 2021, Ghana’s imports of food & beverage technology show an annual increase of 17% between 2017 and 2021. (VDMA)

Packaging technology: Ghanaian imports of packaging technology amounted to €64 million in 2021, up 21% annually from €30 million in 2017 – steady growth even in the Corona year 2021. (VDMA)

Food & beverage ingredients: With already well over 40 million inhabitants (2022), which according to the World Bank will rise to 80 million by 2050, Ghana is a huge food market. Expenditure in the F&B sector is growing steadily, and F&B production is by far the largest segment of the Ghanaian processing industry. Accordingly, the demand for food and beverage ingredients is rising continuously.

Food trade with West Africa: According to the World Trade Organization WTO, West African food imports have reached around US$19 billion and exports US$21 billion in 2021. Thus, food trade with West Africa is a US$40 billion business.
