Ghana Seeds Market Analysis

  • Ghana's seed market has experienced significant growth over the past decade. Despite the development and availability of improved and locally adapted seed varieties, the adoption rate remains marginal. According to the National Seed Trade Association Ghana (NASTAG), only about 35-40% of farmers were using improved varieties as of 2023.
  • Ghana faces challenges due to population growth and land degradation, leading to an anticipated decrease in per capita land availability. For example, cassava, a major crop in Ghana's farming systems, has seen a reduction in cultivation area from 10.6 million hectares in 2020 to less than 10.4 million hectares in 2023, as reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This decreasing per capita availability of arable land is a significant concern for Ghana's agricultural production. However, it also serves as a driver for the seed industry. The need to increase production from diminishing arable land to achieve higher returns can be addressed using high-yielding and hybrid varieties. This trend is encouraging farmers to shift from conventional seed sources to packaged seeds that offer better yields.
  • The demand for seeds across Ghana remains largely untapped, presenting various opportunities for multinational corporations to expand and reach a broad customer base. In 2023, the East-West Seed Foundation initiated a project called "Transforming Vegetable Farming as a Business" in Ghana. This one-year project aims to empower 11,880 farmers in the Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo regions by teaching them to grow and market vegetables profitably using superior seeds and sustainable farming practices. The initiative seeks to develop a competitive agro-input market, particularly in seeds. Additionally, the growing interest in vegetable cultivation in the country, driven by changing dietary preferences and increased cash flows for farmers, is further propelling the growth of the seed market in Ghana.
  • Several players are taking initiatives to boost the growth of the seed market. For instance, the "1 Household, 1 Garden" initiative run by Agrihouse Foundation in Ghana is motivating and supporting the people of Ghana to contribute to the growth of the seed market.
