Rice Price Trends in Ghana (2006‐2011)
Vincent Amanor‐Boadu, PhD1
Per capita consumption of rice (Oryza spp. L.) in Ghana increased from 17.5 kg per annum
between 1999 and 2001 to 22.6 kg per annum between 2002 and 2004. By 2011, it had
reached 38 kg per annum and projected to reach 63 kg per annum by 2015.2 This increase has
transformed rice into Ghana’s most important cereal food crop after maize. The evolution of
rice prices, thus, has implications for national food security and income enhancement
objectives. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the trends in rice prices and discuss their
implication for policy. It used national monthly wholesale prices collected by the Statistical
Research and Information Directorate (SRID) of the Ghana Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

WFRP is a new product offered through Federal crop insurance
that covers farm revenue produced for the whole farm for the
insured year. The USDA agency that offers Federal crop
insurance is the Risk Management Agency and a portion of the
producer’s premium amount is subsidized.
WFRP is sold by insurance companies that have a reinsurance
agreement with the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC).
These companies have insurance agents that sell WFRP directly
to producers and loss adjustors who will work with producers
when there are losses.
