The forecasted supply of cotton in Ghana shows a stable and slight upward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual supply stood at 35.0 thousand units (480 lb. Bales). This indicates a steady growth rate of approximately 2.86% from 2023 to 2024, with a subsequent stabilization observed in subsequent years where the supply remains constant at 37.0 thousand units from 2025 to 2028.
Year-on-year variations over the last two years indicate a minimal increase, reinforcing a stable supply in the short to medium term. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period reveals a modest and consistent growth rate.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Global cotton price fluctuations and their subsequent implications on local production.
- Technological advancements in agriculture which could affect yield and efficiency.
- Government policies and initiatives aimed at increasing cotton production in Ghana.
- Potential impacts of climate change on crop yield and supply stability.
