Ghana's agriculture sector made a significant contribution to GDP in the 1990s, around 44-45%, but experienced a marked decline to about 19.6% by 2022. The reduction reflects Ghana’s gradual diversification into mining, particularly gold and oil, which have become central to its economic growth. A sharp decrease after 2006 aligns with the growth of these sectors, though agriculture remains critical for employment and food security.
Fluctuations in recent years, with a slight recovery to around 19% in 2020, may reflect government initiatives aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and resilience. Agriculture, though less dominant, continues to play an important role in Ghana's economy, especially in rural regions.
