60% of Ghana Cannabis Licence Enquiries Come From US and Canadian Investors

More than 60% of formal licence enquiries since Ghana's regulatory programme launched have come from investors in the United States and Canada — confirming Ghana as the most attractive cannabis investment destination in West Africa.

Why North American Investors Are Choosing Ghana

• Year-round sunshine: Multiple outdoor cultivation cycles per year, eliminating expensive greenhouse infrastructure
• Lower production costs: Agricultural labour significantly cheaper than in North America
• First-mover advantage: West Africa's first regulated cannabis market serving 400 million people
• Established export infrastructure: Ports, logistics, and agricultural extension services already in place

The 50% Local Ownership Rule

All foreign investment requires a Ghanaian business partner holding at least 50% ownership under L.I. 2475 — forcing genuine local partnership so economic benefits flow to Ghanaian citizens.
