President John Dramani Mahama has announced a significant decline in food inflation, attributing the improvement to deliberate policy measures and strengthened management of Ghana’s food systems.
Speaking at the 41st National Farmers’ Day celebration in Ho, the President revealed that food inflation, which previously stood at 28.3%, has sharply dropped to 9.5% as of October 2025.
“This is a notable improvement from the 22.8% recorded at the same time last year,” he said, emphasising that the results reflect the impact of targeted interventions.
According to President Mahama, the government’s strategy included the distribution of 50,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser and 3,000 metric tonnes of hybrid maize and rice seeds to farmers and key national institutions, including the National Service Authority, churches, secondary and tertiary schools, and the Prison Service.
He explained that these efforts have boosted production, stabilised market supply, and helped ease food prices, marking an important step forward in Ghana’s broader food security agenda.
