Market Demand — Almond
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Almond viable in Ghana?
Almond is well suited to Ghana: growing-season temperatures (~29.3°C) and rainfall (~1356 mm) fall within its 12–35°C range. Almond (Fruits & Stimulants, perennial) performs best around 12 - 35 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 700 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.
Growing Almond in Ghana: what to expect
Ghana is wetter (~1356 mm/yr) than Almond's ~700 mm need — prioritise good drainage to avoid waterlogging and root disease. Almond can be established year-round in Ghana's frost-free climate, ideally at the start of the wet season.
