The Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, has stated that Ghana recorded no food shortages in 2025, noting that the country even exceeded its agricultural production expectations.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Opoku commended Ghanaian farmers for their resilience despite challenges, describing their performance as exceptional.

According to the minister, the country currently has adequate buffer stocks to meet future needs. He further highlighted that the agriculture sector has been a major driver of economic growth, contributing significantly to the reduction of food inflation and general food prices.

Mr. Opoku also disclosed that the government is working to improve agricultural roads to ease transportation challenges and enhance access to markets.

“I believe we need to applaud Ghanaian farmers for their remarkable achievements despite the challenges they face. There have been no food shortages, and we maintain a buffer stock to ensure we are prepared for rainy days. Preliminary data indicate that we have exceeded our expectations,” Mr. Opoku said.

He added, “Agriculture has been a key driver of growth in our economy. Food inflation has decreased, and overall food prices have gone down. We are also working on improving agricultural roads to facilitate easier transportation.”
