Update yourself with fact. Ghana is the current largest coconut producer in Africa
not Tanzania.

https://africaviewfacts.com/stats/top-coconut-producers-in-africa/#:~:text=1.,suitable%20environment%20for%20coconut%20cultivation.

GeneralDae:
Ghana is not the largest producer of coconut in Africa, that is Tanzania. Nigeria is by far largest producer of Shea Butter and Yam. Nigeria has a huge market already for many things so we do not export as much plus of course bureaucracy.

For Shea Butter, Nigeria is the world’s largest producer and exporter (Ghana is not the largest exporter).

For yam especially, there was a decree by the Babangida military administration in 1989 banning the exports of Yam but Nigeria is by far the largest yam producer in the world.

Give me something similar or close to this list for Ghana in 2022.

“In 2022, Nigeria produced:
59.6 million tons of cassava (the largest producer in the world). Nigeria accounts for up to 20% of the world's cassava production, about 34 per cent of Africa's, and about 46% of West Africa's;[3]
47.5 million tons of yam (the largest producer in the world);[35]
3.3 million tons of taro (the largest producer in the world);[36]
2.6 million tons of cowpea (the largest producer in the world);[37]
6.8 million tons of sorghum (the largest producer in the world);[38][39]
2 million tons of okra (2nd largest producer in the world, second only to India);[40]
2.8 million tons of peanut (3rd largest producer in the world, second only to China and India);
4 million tons of sweet potato (3rd largest producer in the world, second only to China and Malawi);
369 thousand tons of ginger (3rd largest producer in the world, losing only to India and China);
2.2 million tons of millet (4th largest producer in the world, second only to India, Niger, and Sudan);
7.8 million tons of palm oil (4th largest producer in the world, second only to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand);
572 thousand tons of sesame seed (4th largest producer in the world, losing only to Sudan, Myanmar, and India);
332 thousand tons of cocoa (4th largest producer in the world, second only to Ivory Coast, Ghana, and Indonesia);
3 million tons of plantain (5th largest producer in the world);
833 thousand tons of papaya (6th largest producer in the world);
1.6 million tons of pineapple (7th largest producer in the world);
3.9 million tons of tomato (11th largest producer in the world);
6.8 million tons of rice (one of the largest producers of rice in Africa,[3] 14th largest producer in the world);
10.1 million tons of maize (14th largest producer in the world);
7.5 million tons of vegetables;
1.4 million tons of sugarcane;
1.3 million tons of potato;
949 thousand tons of mango (including mangosteen and guava);
938 thousand tons of onion;
758 thousand tons of soy;
747 thousand tons of green pepper;
585 thousand tons of egusi;
263 thousand tons of sheanut;
150 thousand tons of coconut.
In addition to smaller productions of other agricultural products,[41] Nigeria produced about 2.2 million metric tons of fish in 2008”

Ghana export more shear butter and yam than Nigeria. This are few mistakes from your long mistakes I can identify for now .... fact checked me.


Based on land size. Ghana is a significant player in any of the product you listed there. Be it soybeans or palm oil


Infact Ghana export timber Wood to Nigeria since Ghana produce more than what can be used here.

GeneralDae:
Apart from Cocoa (which Ghana is second largest producer of), tell me anything else (in agriculture) Ghana produces the most in Subsaharan Africa or West Africa.

Nigeria and expectedly so is one of the biggest producer of almost every agricultural product you can think of from palm oil to rice to tomatoes to Ginger to sesame to maize, soybean, onions, etc. Nigeria is always either largest producer or at least one of the largest.

This is not the case with Ghana, Ivorycoast or West Africa in general and this is understandable because of your smaller populations.

You are not abreast with fact. Ghana is the largest coconut producer in Africa . ( The major ingredient in most of your localized home or beauty cosmetics products. , the largest in West Africa when it comes to exporting of shear butter and yam. Also notable with plantain and cassava . The few I can remember for now .

When it comes to agriculture products, population and land size sometimes aren't a factor but technology ( Israel is a typical example of this fact) anyway I agree 9ja produce Large crops and legumes due to the large land size of fertiled land.

There are many cooking oil sizes in Ghana too.but people will likely buy the bigger option if there is enough financial capacity

AMKAG66:
The point is that Nigeria produces most things it consumes unlike Ghana. Nigeria is way industrialized.
So even with all these inflation, currency devaluation,etc.. goods and services are still cheaper and affordable than in Ghana. I even believed that the Nigerian economy can never crash no matter how bad economic situations are because it’s innately made resilient due to these two factors unlike many other African countries.
Vegetable oil is sold in different sachet sizes and is all over the place. It’s just simple logic that the average person will decide to go for the sachets and smaller containers ones rather than the 25L. The options are just too readily available.

Mr man, there is nothing Nigeria produces that Ghana is not also doing, even cote d'voire also produce nearly every similar items that is locally produced in Nigeria and Ghana. Gone are the days where industrialization is for only one particular country . It cut across many West African states now.

Goods and service in Nigeria aren't cheaper than Ghana , it only appears so because of the current weak Nigeria purchasing power. Take a look at internet and communication. It is way cheaper to call Nigeria from Ghana than vice versa, more cheaper options to browse and surf the Internet too. That is what everybody can literally relate too easily .

Nigeria economic can indeed crashed if it directly affect crude oil income and production ( A year is enough ).

theenchanter:
that is still ppp, Bobo. So why are u running in circles?

na you dey run inside circle. I already give you a clue regarding it but showing you examples of basic commodity like cooking oil and cement.

theenchanter:
how many Ghanaians buy 25L vegetable oil? Let's start from there.

The sensible question will be how many Ghanaian used or don't used oil ? Size is a matter of choice and needs .

theenchanter:
the argument is about pp of our currencies.

ogbeni, the major components here is the exchange rate, the inflation rate and the local price. Judging based on this component, Nigeria is not in anyway living better despite Ghana perceived high cost

theenchanter:
As I said earlier, I'm sure 90% of Nigerians don't buy 25L vegetable oil, so therefore 25L vegetable oil is not a basic need.

Vegetable oil are sold in smaller quantities and I believe that's what majority of Nigerians buy

Your argument is flawed . The quantity is basically a reflection of what your pulse can attract, it doesn't mean oil is not a necessity. Nearly every 90 percent of Nigerians will buy it if they can afford it because there is no much alternative to oil.

Oil is a basic needs, the quantity doesn't matter, can you afford it is the question ?

theenchanter:
how's 25L vegetable oil a necessity, guy?😂😂😂

As for cement, I know the price of that and it ranges between 8k-10k, depending on the brand.

anyway that is 10 k. It does not in anyway cheaper than Ghana despite having a poorer economy

theenchanter:
how's 25L vegetable oil a necessity, guy?😂😂😂

ogbeni , it is a common basic household ingredient.


Whether you buy in 25 litter's or less depends on your pulse. It does not stop it from being a basic necessity

theenchanter:
I responded harshly and was banned but I already screenshot the post before it was removed.

So, enjoy...... Can't stress myself on u by making another lengthy post.

You are not banned anyway, it is your own cup of acid.


Oil is a basic necessity both in Nigeria and Ghana, the quantity on what you buy is dependent on the amount you used. But it is a daily and necessary consumption.


Now tell me basic necessity in Nigeria that is above that of Ghana and f.... olishly think it is way cheaper than Ghana.


How much is a bag of cement in Nigeria now ? Another item that is daily used

POKUASI2:
You guys have no idea the rate at which hunger the waya them..
Na some of us dey buy food for their compatriots.
It's so bad that they're eating Nigerian food.

so Nigerian food is a standard of something bad whaooo

The joke is on you, you are only a slave here you can't rule not even in your life wannabe

theenchanter:
ok

ode

theenchanter:
E pele sir.😁

How much is that 25 litter's of oil. Kings or whatever company in Nigeria?.

Be bold enough to tell us

theenchanter:
What we keep telling the Ghanaians but they're in denial. Make all of us dey kuku dey go.

Even the Nigerian shock.😂

now compare it to the cost of living in Abuja, Calabar and pH etc.


The guy seems not to be wize, the urban part of Ghana is as expensive as Nigeria while rural area is less expensive as rural Nigeria.


How much is this in Nigeria....it is less than 70knaira in GH

3 years ago, 32 cedis 🇬🇭 was equal to 1000 naira 🇳🇬. As at today, the same 32 cedis is equal to 4,027 naira. Time changes… The cedi has appreciated against the naira more than 4 times over the period.



Though I learnt even a million naira can do very little in Nigeria now .

Ghana’s Cedi continues to rise, now pegged at 12.72 against the U.S. dollar even amidst the new U.S.-China trade deal.

The only different thing Ghana had to do was to buy more gold reserves and buy all gold from small scale miners, thereby retaining more foreign exchange in the country. The days of volatile local currency might just be over.

GeneralDae:
Come on now. 31 million cedis owed by 2 countries. That’s not even up to $2 million in total.

that is for that period only not for the unpaid accumulative cost for the past twenty years . They were using the number freely , An intellectual property of Ghana

Ghana within the West Africa power pull authority is currently exporting electricity to Benin, Togo, burkina faso and cote d voire yet you will not see Ghana making noise on this matter. Some of you are not aware Ghana supply this countries electricity too

GeneralDae:
Ghana should pay all her gas debts to Nigeria so we too can also effectively improve local demand😀

Benin, Togo, Niger also use Nigerian gas for years without paying yet they turn around to mock us that we have no electricity.

“Notably, in February, the Ghanaian government announced plans to negotiate with Nigeria's N-Gas Limited to settle a $37.5 million payment, part of the outstanding debt for gas supplied to Ghana's power plants.

However, the Managing Director of N-Gas has not confirmed or denied whether the payment was made”.

unproductive journalism. You don't even have the report .


9ja always behave like a babyy in need of mummy breast milk .

Anyway, for the first time in about 20 years , Nigeria might be paying for using Ghana keys on lotto numbers. It is entirely more or less free in Nigeria back then. Imagine it is the other way round, nigerians will have taken it up the street like this your non ending gas debt case..

theenchanter:
ok.

you don't need to quote back.. ko necessary

GeneralDae:
Why are you guys fond of comparing an African country like Ghana to UK, US. It’s not thesame scenario. The average pay and minimum wage in those countries means their purchasing power matches up with the high value of the currency. This is not the case with Ghana.

in this case , Nigeria has the highest HIT. How many times has a price of cement change this year only .

Well, the economy here is highly informal, hence the reason it is likely you see a Cocoa farmer who can send his ward to US for university education but a medical doctor under a pay wages might struggle to do the same . I am aware Nigeria is also in the same shoe

chrisooblog:
Ok.

you still don't need to quote back. The message is not for your moniker only

theenchanter:
And if it becomes the first again in few years, y'all will scream "FAKE". Never agreeing that many indexes make up the GDP. Y'all think GDP is mere figure.

We know the drill.

it is in that figure because your naira is weak . Simple . At the calculation of your nominal GDP using the US dollar

I also position your weak currency is the sudden reason behind your stubborn inflation

chrisooblog:
Ok.

you don't need to quote back . Nigeria is also known to suspend payments, I am aware you don't know.

For your info, Nigeria is known to also delay payment ( coupon issues )Nigeria always have a filmsy excuse instead of being honest .



Anyway, Ghana suspend dept payment, Nigeria refinance ( borrowed to pay existing debt) who is better than who

theenchanter:
nobody needs strong economic background to tackle Ghana's economic outlook. It's a laughing stock amongst economist. Ask around.

I can't count the number of times I've been at economic gatherings where they made jest of Ghana's economy. Looks good on paper, shitty in reality.

So, rest.

I am sure they share the same type of brain with you .


Once I begin to ask for what is shitty now. It is either you instructed the bot to ban me or you begin ranting

POKUASI2:
This guy is a chronic liar who lives in an alternative world.
In mid 2022, a box of our product was going for 350 cedis..
Today, it's going for 1080 cedis.
Ghanaians are dying of inflation induced hunger.
Example, a cup of cooked rice at say champion dishes was going for 3 cedis in 2022.. that same cup of cooked rice is 12 cedis as at today.
In 2022, a bottle of 1.5 liter of coke was 10 cedis, today, it's 35 cedis..
Before in Ghana, with 5 cedis, you can eat cooked rice with boiled egg but today, that same boiled egg is going for 4 cedis and cooked rice starts from 10 cedis.
Mind you, daily minimum wage in this same Ghana is 19.97cedis..
So your daily minimum wage can only buy you breakfast.
It'll cost you averagely, 35 cedis to eat a plate of food meanwhile, daily minimum wage is 19.97 cedis.
Now times 19.97cedis by 30 and see what you'll get then we can factor in utilities, rent etc so you see how these people are suffering.
Me for example, I spend 500 cedis buying electricity every single month..
Now calculate 19.97 times 30 days and see if you won't get 555.10.. now factor in rent, feeding, utilities etc and see how Ghanaians are suffering but pretending

you are blabbing. Inflation is well control in Ghana now than Nigeria


No time to rant . Check cement price for the first quarter despite having Dangote and compare it to the current price now

chrisooblog:
@GeneralDae, theenchanter and co you guys really have patience debating with someone who's economy defaulted on Eurobond payments, currently owe significant sums to IMF and currency is appreciating due to suspension of debt till next year.

Ghana is earning more .


This is one of the key reasons for cedis stabilization .


it’s now mandatory that all gold transactions be conducted with the Ghana Cedis only

Below is the unprecedented revenues coming in as compared to the previous year

defaulting on payment isn't a biggy , Ghana is never gonna be the first nor the last. Argentina a better well stable country is even known to be a great defaulters. Check them today .


What happens is what are the practical obligations ahead that will put the economy on check. Ghana cedis is actually strengthen because there are more forex in the economy and the demand of dollar is been put into check .

theenchanter:
why do I need to see what it is in Nigeria when it can't get me same value in Ghana, it's owner? Being high in exchange rate doesn't make it valuable in its primary nation.but u and I know I'll get more value for my 117k/122k naira in Nigeria far more than you get for your 1k cedis in Ghana, So who's the joker here? Nigerian producers can actually target ur market to earn ur fx but urs can't do the same, how's that a flex? Like una no know simple economics ni?
why do I need to earn in cedis just to spend in another country? Why can't Ghanaians get same value in Ghana? Let foreigner earn our cedis and enjoy like a king in their country with our fx rate but our compatriots shouldn't enjoy the same.

I like ur analogy.👍🏾it's an overall joke on ur country.

UK, Germany, USA and some other organized European country will not make you a millionaire in those country currency but it will make life easy for you and soft for your loved ones too.

The purpose is to escape poverty, give your family a good life. Anything outside it shouldn't concern you.


Now used the same analogy in this context.

AkoniMoipei:
OMFG! If this was my govt the president would be literally sh#tting his pants.

That is the current reality. From first position in Africa to fourth position.

We can always blame the mismanagement

TheChameleon:
Your comment is so unintelligent I don't even know where to start from.

Burkina Faso?? Ghana

Okay you have been noticed

But you can see how people identify you as the unintelligent one
