It is reported that Ghana is currently the largest importer of onions in Niger, a landlocked country in the Midwest of Africa.

Niger produces some one million metric tonnes of onions every year and Ghana has become its most important customer, importing more than 43 per cent of all onions produced in that country to the tune of about GH¢502 million or approximately $107 million every year.

The country also imports some $100 million worth of tomatoes from Burkina Faso.

Plantain production is the third most important food cultivation in Ghana, after yam and cassava. This year, the harvest was exceptional. Farmers owe this good yield of plantains to the good rains of 2018.Ghana has begun the export of plantain to Burkina Faso and other countries in the West African sub-region.
