Maize Price Trends in Ghana (2007‐2011)1
Vincent Amanor‐Boadu, PhD2
Maize (Zea mays, L.) is a principal human food and livestock feed in Ghana. Its production is
essentially performed by smallholder farmers under traditional tillage and rain‐fed conditions.
Although production occurs in all of Ghana's ten administrative regions, more than 70% of
maize output comes from five regions in three of the six agro‐ecological zones. The five
principal growing regions are Northern, Brong‐Ahafo, Ashanti, Central and Eastern and the
three agro‐ecological zones are guinea savanna, forest savanna transition and semi‐deciduous
rainforest (Table 1). Forest savanna transition and the semi‐deciduous agro‐ecological zones
have a bimodal rainfall distribution pattern, with the major season beginning in March and
ending in July and the minor season beginning in September and ending in October/November.
The guinea savanna agro‐ecological zone has a uni‐modal rainfall distribution that starts in May
and ends in September.
