Can Ghanaians Afford to Eat Healthy?
The rising cost of a healthy diet and what it means for food security in Ghana
The cost of eating healthy in Ghana is rising faster than many families can manage. In just two years, the average cost of a healthy diet is as high as ₵24 in southern Ghana, according to new estimates shared by Prof. Richmond Nii Okai Aryeetey, Professor of Public Health Nutrition at the University of Ghana.
This means millions of households are being priced out of access to nutritious diets — even as ultra-processed foods become cheaper and more accessible.
“It costs about 12 cedis per person per day for you to eat a healthy diet according to the Food-Based Dietary Guidelines. In 2023, it was 11 cedis, and our recent study shows that in 2025, it costs an average of 18 cedis — and in southern Ghana, about 24 cedis. Is that your reality?”
