AGRA Food Security Monitor shows a mixed picture for Ghana’s food markets

Across West Africa, food security conditions are expected to remain under significant pressure through late 2026 and early 2027, driven by a combination of conflict, displacement, high food prices, weak household incomes, and localised climate shocks.

Expected to be operational by 2030, the AGRA Food Security Monitor says the project will feature a six-lane coastal highway and a parallel high-speed railway linking five of West Africa’s largest economies, improving the movement of people, goods, and services along a key trade route.

Although the arrival of harvests from October onward is expected to improve food availability and ease conditions in some areas, agricultural production remains constrained by insecurity, below-average rainfall prospects, flooding, limited access to inputs, and rising production costs.
