Agriculture: The Agriculture sector is a key driver of the Ghanaian economy, contributing an estimated 22% of the GDP. Ghana's GDP from Agriculture was 8,063.21 GHS million in the first quarter of 2020 and is projected to trend around 10,027.00GHS million in 2021 and 10,628.00 GHS million in 2022. Agriculture employs more than half of the workforce, mainly small landholders. Agriculture is an important contributor to Ghana's export earnings, and a major source of inputs for the manufacturing sector.

Infrastructure Development: Investment to deliver infrastructure is very viable with the booming real estate industry and high demand for infrastructure development such as roads, railways, Airports, Marine transportation, hospitals and schools.
