Gold produced in Ghana is primarily exported to four countries.

According to the Trade Statistics Report from the Ghana Statistical Service, United Arab Emirates (40.1%) led the destination of gold export followed by Switzerland (30.1%), South Africa (22.2%), and India (6.8%). Together they accounted for 99.2% of gold export from Ghana.

About a third of mineral fuels and oils were also exported to China (29.8%), nearly a quarter of cocoa to the Netherlands (22.2%), vegetable products to Vietnam (17.0%) and iron and steel to Burkina Faso (55.9%).

For five out of the 10 product classifications, China was the leading country of origin.

However, for mineral fuels and oils the main country of origin was the United Kingdom, closely followed by the United Arab Emirates.
