Ghana's agriculture sector made a significant contribution to GDP in the 1990s, around 44-, but experienced a marked decline to about by 2022. The reduction reflects Ghana’s gradual diversification into mining, particularly gold and oil, which have become central to its economic growth. A sharp decrease after 2006 aligns with the growth of these sectors, though agriculture remains critical for employment and food security.
Fluctuations in recent years, with a slight recovery to around in 2020, may reflect government initiatives aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and resilience. Agriculture, though less dominant, continues to play an important role in Ghana's economy, especially in rural regions.
