Ghana ended 2025 with a total value of export earnings of a record US$31.1 billion. This is compared with US$19.1 billion in 2024.

The revelation was captured in the Summary of Economic and Financial Data by the Bank of Ghana on 27 January 2026. The data showed that gold led the pack, as earnings stood at US$20billion, compared to US$10.3 billion in 2024.

It was followed by cocoa, which fetched the country US$3.8 billion in 2025, representing a significant increase from the US$1.9 billion in 2024.

The development, according to some industry watchers, can be described as interesting, based on the declining prices of the commodity on the international market.

The total oil exports, however, decreased from US$3.8 billion to US$2.6 billion, obviously linked to the declining prices of crude oil on the international market in recent times.

Other exports got the country some US$3.6billion.
