Government spending on agriculture reached around 104 million U.S. dollars in 2022, a considerable decrease compared to the previous year.

An agriculture-oriented society
Government spending on agriculture in Ghana further reflects the significant role agriculture plays in the country’s economy as well as in the lives of Ghanaians. In fact, over half of the total land area of the country, roughly 55 percent, is used for agricultural purposes. This is higher than the share of land used for agriculture in Africa, which stood at nearly 39 percent in 2021.
