Ghana Sugar Market Overview

Ghana imports nearly all of its sugar — domestic production is negligible. The market is supplied primarily by Brazil and Thailand, with Tema port handling the bulk of containerized shipments. Ghanaian buyers favor 50kg PP bags for redistribution and 25kg bags for smaller wholesale operations. The market is price-sensitive but quality-conscious, with strong preference for ICUMSA 45.

Thailand exports 50,000-150,000 MT of sugar to Ghana annually, competing primarily with Brazilian and Indian origins.
