Overview
Ghana's exports stood at $28.8B in 2025, a rise of +$404.4M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $28.8B by 2025. Ghana ranked 83rd globally.
Ghana’s export value has risen dramatically over the 51‑year series, climbing from a low of 477,300,000.00 in 1983 to an all‑time peak of 28,839,372,854.85 in 2025, where it ranks 83rd globally. The surge reflects diversification into cocoa, gold and oil, sectors that expanded markedly after the early 2000s liberalisation reforms. Compared with peers of similar rank, Ghana’s 2025 export total of 28,839,372,854.85 is slightly below Jordan’s 27,887,633,802.82 and close to Uzbekistan’s 30,197,826,821.75, indicating competitive performance within the mid‑range of worldwide exporters. The long‑term upward trajectory masks periods of volatility, notably the early 1980s downturn that coincided with severe fiscal constraints and structural adjustment programmes. Continued investment in value‑added processing and regional trade agreements could sustain the current growth path, while external shocks such as commodity price swings would be the principal risk to future export expansion.
