Rice Price Trends in Ghana (2006‐2011)
Vincent Amanor‐Boadu, PhD1
Per capita consumption of rice (Oryza spp. L.) in Ghana increased from 17.5 kg per annum
between 1999 and 2001 to 22.6 kg per annum between 2002 and 2004. By 2011, it had
reached 38 kg per annum and projected to reach 63 kg per annum by 2015.2 This increase has
transformed rice into Ghana’s most important cereal food crop after maize. The evolution of
rice prices, thus, has implications for national food security and income enhancement
objectives. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the trends in rice prices and discuss their
implication for policy. It used national monthly wholesale prices collected by the Statistical
Research and Information Directorate (SRID) of the Ghana Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
Ghana’s Rice Production Situation
Table 1 shows that while rice is grown in all ten regions of Ghana, production is very
concentrated: the top‐three regions (Northern, Upper East and Volta) accounted for nearly 80%
of total national output and 73% of total production area in 2010. These three regions also fall
in three of the country’s six agro‐ecological zones – Coastal savanna, Guinea savanna and Sahel
savanna. Average yield of 2.96 MT/Ha in these three regions exceeds the national average of
2.71 MT/Ha but is significantly lower than the average yield of 5.48 MT/Ha in the Greater Accra
region, suggesting that the right technologies and policies could enhance yields and output.
The opportunities are even higher when 2010 yields of 4.10 MT/Ha, 4.07 MT/Ha and 3.36
MT/Ha in neighboring countries of Senegal, Benin and Mali are considered.

Are landowners eligible to receive government payments?
Landowners are only eligible for government payments if they incur production risk
in the lease. Therefore, landowners would be eligible for government payment in a
crop share lease because they share the risk of growing a crop with the tenant. In a
cash rent, however, they receive a fixed cash rent regardless of what the crop yields
and thus do not incur any production risk. Many flexible cash rents are also treated
as cash rents by FSA and thus landowners are not eligible to receive government
payments. In addition to this provision, crop share landowners must also meet
income and payment limitation requirements to be eligible. It is recommended to
check with the county FSA office as to program eligibility in specific situations.
