Ghana’s agrofood & plastprintpack technology imports grow by double digits

After the great success of agrofood West Africa 2022 in Ghana, the 2023 edition is now coming up as agrofood Ghana to take place from 21 – 23 November, 2023 at the Trade Center Arena at the Accra International Conference Centre.

This important business platform for the Ghanaian industry is organised by fairtrade in cooperation with their local partner Geovision.

The rebranding from agrofood West Africa to agrofood Ghana reflects the growing importance of the Ghanaian market since the inaugural event in Ghana in 2013. The figures below in the section “The Ghanaian agrofood market” prove this impressively.

In addition to the 6th agrofood Ghana, fairtrade in West Africa serves Nigeria with the 9th agrofood Nigeria. And francophone West Africa will finally meet again in 2024 in Abidjan, at the 2nd agrofood West Africa​​​​​​.

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.
