Ghana: Seafood Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GH2022-0005

Ghana has one of the highest rates of dependence on fish for nutrition in Africa, with fish providing 60 percent of animal protein intake and estimated per capita fish consumption at 25 kg. Ghana’s seafood market presents an excellent opportunity for U.S. suppliers. The value of U.S. seafood exports to Ghana reached $7.9 million in 2017, reflecting rapid growth in the country’s hospitality industry in general and the food services subsector in particular prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
