Total cultivated area in Ghana 2020, by crop type

In 2020, the area used to cultivate maize in Ghana reached 523,530 hectares, the largest compared to other food crops, and nearly thrice the extent used to grow rice. As of the same year, vegetables were produced over an area of around 45,800 thousand hectares. Overall, the main crops grown in Ghana covered a total expanse of approximately 795,000 hectares. The area equipped for irrigation stretched over 223,000 hectares. Roots and tubers in the production lead Small-scale farming is a major practice in Ghana, particularly in rural communities. In 2019, the country’s crop production index stood at 118.58, representing a steady rise since 2007. This gradual increase is reflected in the over 48.7 million metric tons of primary crops produced in 2020. Root crops accounted for the largest share of the production volume. Specifically, in 2020, cassava production amounted to approximately 22.7 million metric tons. In the same year, the quantity of yam produced added up to 8.3 million metric tons. The country depends mainly on fertilizer imports Fertilizer is used in Ghana for agricultural and non-agricultural purposes, although the usage volume for the former exceeds that of the latter. In 2019, around 425,000 metric tons of the country’s fertilizer was used in agricultural production, while industries and mines used only about 90,300 metric tons. In the same year, Ghana imported approximately 425,000 metric tons of fertilizer, meaning that the total quantity imported was used for agricultural purposes. Russia and Norway were Ghana’s leading suppliers of fertilizer.

于2020年，加纳用于种植玉米的面积达到了523,530公顷，相较于其他粮食作物，这一数字位居首位，且几乎是用于种植水稻面积的三倍。同年，蔬菜的种植面积超过了45,800千公顷。总体而言，加纳主要作物种植面积总计约为795,000公顷。灌溉设施覆盖的面积达到223,000公顷。在农业生产中，根茎类作物占据主导地位，而在加纳，尤其是农村地区，小规模农业是一种主要的耕作方式。2019年，该国作物生产指数为118.58，自2007年以来稳步上升。这一渐进式的增长体现在2020年超过4.87亿吨的主要作物产量上。根茎作物占据了生产总量的最大份额。具体而言，2020年，木薯产量约为2.27亿吨。同年，芋头的产量累计达到8300万吨。该国主要依赖化肥进口，化肥在加纳既用于农业生产，也用于非农业生产，尽管前者的使用量超过了后者。2019年，加纳约425,000吨的化肥用于农业生产，而工业和矿业仅使用了约90,300吨。同年，加纳进口了约425,000吨化肥，这意味着进口的总量均用于农业生产。俄罗斯和挪威是加纳化肥的主要供应商。
