The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has raised concerns that Ghana may be weakening its long-term earnings from the mining sector following the government’s decision to reduce the Growth and Sustainability Levy from three per cent to one per cent, warning that the move could undermine value capture at a time of record mineral revenues. At a press briefing in Accra, the policy think tank cautioned that although the extractive sector continues to deliver significant inflows to the state, recent fiscal adjustments risk shrinking the country’s overall take from its mineral wealth. The concern comes against the backdrop of strong…

Ghana is ramping up aggressive agricultural reforms as it battles a widening tomato supply gap estimated at 448,000 metric tonnes annually, a shortfall that continues to expose structural weaknesses in local food production and post-harvest systems. Data from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) shows that national tomato demand stands at about 805,000 metric tonnes per year, while local production averages only 510,000 metric tonnes, creating an immediate deficit of nearly 295,000 metric tonnes even before losses are considered. The crisis deepens significantly due to post-harvest inefficiencies, which account for about 30 per cent of total output, translating into…

Global cocoa prices have plunged to their lowest levels in over two weeks, as improving supply conditions in West Africa and weakening global demand combine to exert fresh pressure on the market. Prices fell sharply on Wednesday, with cocoa dropping to $3,135 per tonne, driven by a stronger US dollar and expectations of a bumper harvest in key producing countries, particularly Ghana and Ivory Coast. Farmers in both countries report that consistent rainfall has significantly boosted pod development, raising expectations of increased output. The two nations together account for more than half of global cocoa production, making their supply outlook…
