Ghana's gold production is expected to rise by 3% in 2025, reaching 136 tonnes, up from an estimated 132 tonnes in 2024.

This increase in production is largely due to a $525 million investment in expanding production at Asante Gold’s Bibiani and Chirano mines, as well as the start of operations at the Ahafo North gold mine.

In 2023, Ghana produced 128 tonnes of gold.

According to Deloitte’s West Africa in Focus Report, higher gold output combined with stronger global gold prices will result in increased gold revenue for the country.

Gold prices are expected to rise further in 2025, as major economies like the U.S. and the U.K. implement more supportive monetary policies, making gold more attractive as an investment during times of low interest rates.

On the other hand, Ghana’s cocoa exports, the second-largest export after gold, will continue to face challenges.

These include the spread of the swollen shoot virus, bad weather, smuggling, and fluctuations in global commodity prices.

Cocoa production for the 2025/2026 season is expected to increase to 527,000 tonnes, up from the 2024/2025 estimate of 500,000 tonnes.
