Oil Palm
Ghana currently has a total of 305 758 ha of oil palm, more than 80 percent of which is cultivated by private small-scale farmers. It is estimated that 243 852 tonnes of palm oil is being produced and that Ghana currently has an unmet demand of 35 000 tonnes of palm oil.
Rubber
Rubber was introduced in Ghana in 1898 as an ornamental tree in the botanical garden in Aburi, near Accra. In 1930 some trial plantations were established in the Western region and in the 1950s the first industrial plantation was set up there via a joint-venture with a Danish firm.
Coconut
Ghana is endowed with the ideal climatic conditions for increased production of coconut for both the domestic and foreign markets. The crop thrives very well in the tropical rain forest zone and along the coastal belt. It is usually grown in smallholder plantations in the six out of the ten regions of the country.

Maize
The aim is to achieve a deep, loose seed-bed. Maize is a free-rooting plant so there needs to be no restriction on root development in the early stages. Crops that struggle with compaction then struggle to mature and achieve optimum yield. Farms with heavy soils often need to winter plough to achieve the correct seed-bed in the spring. But if there is a wet March, water can hold under the furrows and can take a long time to dry out.
Rice
In 2020, rice, paddy production for Ghana was 973,000 tonnes. Rice, paddy production of Ghana increased from 54,900 tonnes in 1971 to 973,000 tonnes in 2020 growing at an average annual rate of 8.88%.
Pineapples
The pineapple industry is considered the most developed horticultural sector in Ghana. Pineapple is a non-traditional export crop grown mainly in the Greater Accra, Central, Eastern, and Volta regions.
