Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2013 -- We remain extremely optimistic about the performance of Ghana's economy in the coming years, on the back of domestic oil production. In line with this view, we expect per capita food and beverage consumption to grow strongly over our forecast period to 2017, boosted by rising incomes and wealth redistribution. However, the underdeveloped mass grocery (MGR) retail network will hamper faster uptake of premium goods, with the sector yet to attract foreign investment.
Headline Industry Data
- 2013 per capita food consumption (local currency) = +2.5%; forecast compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to 2017 = +11.16%.
