ArticlePineapples drive Ghana
The pineapple is the kingpin of the Ghanaian horticulture export sector. With some 36,000 tonnes exported in 2002, it represents about two-thirds of the country's total exports, in volume and value, of fresh produce to the European Union. Bananas (3,500 tonnes) and papayas (1,400t) are also important exports, and despite the small tonnage of papaya exports, Ghana is the largest ACP exporter of this exotic fruit to the European Union.
