What Makes the Bono Hinterlands the Food Basket of Ghana

Ghana’s middle belt, covering areas like Techiman, Ejura, and Kintampo, is known for its rich loamy soils, balanced rainfall, and favorable climate for crops such as maize, yams, cassava, and cocoa. Its unique blend of forest and savannah vegetation enriches the land with organic matter, while gentle slopes ensure natural drainage.

Combined with traditional farming practices like crop rotation, these factors make the region one of Ghana’s most fertile and productive agricultural zones.
