Ghana is Nigeria’s younger cousin, and is arguably the more politically and economically stable of the two— when both nations are not arguing about who has the better jollof rice.
Ghana’s sandy beaches and coastal rainforests, blend in with level savannah, which give way to semi-arid plains in the north. Much of Ghana’s economy is extrctive and it produces huge stocks of gold, diamonds, bauxite (some of the world’s largest deposits) and manganese (3% of world production).
Ghana doubles as a large agricultural economy that’s one of the world’s major sources of cocoa (17% of global production).
