Ghana is the world’s second-largest cocoa-producing country after neighboring Côte d’Ivoire. Ghana’s exports to the United States totaled $1.7 billion in 2021. Cocoa, along with oil and gold, makes up much of that trade, according to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). The United States invested $1.6 billion in Ghana in 2019, according to the USTR, with U.S. exports to Ghana totaling $840 million that year. The United States is working to further cooperation with African nations, including Ghana. In April, the U.S. Embassy in Accra and the American Chamber of Commerce–Ghana launched the 2022 SelectUSA Summit recruiting program to attract Ghanaian companies interested in investing in the United States.
