Ghanaian households face growing food costs, with 20% spending over 75% of income on food

Recent data from the Ghana Statistical Service reveals that nearly one in five households dedicates over three-quarters of their income to food, reflecting heightened economic pressure. This trend risks deepening food insecurity, especially for rural and vulnerable communities relying on agriculture. Immediate policy responses are needed to curb inflation and support affected households, with targeted regional interventions crucial to mitigate regional disparities.
