Ghana earns $2.84bn from non-traditional exports in 2020

Ghana bagged a little over $2.84 billion in Non-Traditional Exports  (NTEs) in 2020, despite the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on global trade.

According to the Ghana Exports Promotions Authority, this is a decline of 1.84% over that of 2019.

Coming at a time COVID-19 had hit the global economy, this could be described as relatively good for the country

The NTEs constituted 19.67% of total exports in 2020.

The fall was due to a downward trend in the performance of the processed and semi-processed products sector, particularly, cocoa butter and canned tuna.

Total exports also fell steeply, relatively to a gentle fall in NTEs during the period under review.

According to GEPA, these positive growth figures associated with the sector relative to traditional sector exhibits buoyancy of the NTEs sector.

The performance of this subsector experienced a fall of 2.94% in 2020 over 2019 earnings.

The Agricultural subsector recorded a 0.65% rise in its performance from 2019, with a 15.21% contribution to total NTE’s in 2020.

Cocoa paste also overtook Cocoa butter as the highest earner with natural rubber sheets as the lowest earner of the top 10 leading products.

The first and 10th earned $463.41 million and $73.60 million, respectively. Average earning of the top 10 earners was $170.37 million.

However, total value of the top ten leading products amounted to $ 1.703 billion, representing 59.85% of total NTE earnings for 2020.

EU, UK leading destination of NTEs

But EU and UK remained the biggest destinations.

The EU & UK markets contributed to 34.35% of the total market by absorbing $977.68 million value of NTEs.

This market value, however, reduced by 11.57% relative to 2019 performance due to depression of demand for cut pineapples, fresh bananas, and canned tuna, as fall outs from disruptions in distribution chains.
