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.
Ghana’s Rice Production Situation
Table 1 shows that while rice is grown in all ten regions of Ghana, production is very
concentrated: the top‐three regions (Northern, Upper East and Volta) accounted for nearly 80%
of total national output and 73% of total production area in 2010. These three regions also fall
in three of the country’s six agro‐ecological zones – Coastal savanna, Guinea savanna and Sahel
savanna. Average yield of 2.96 MT/Ha in these three regions exceeds the national average of
2.71 MT/Ha but is significantly lower than the average yield of 5.48 MT/Ha in the Greater Accra
region, suggesting that the right technologies and policies could enhance yields and output.
The opportunities are even higher when 2010 yields of 4.10 MT/Ha, 4.07 MT/Ha and 3.36
MT/Ha in neighboring countries of Senegal, Benin and Mali are considered.
