UK identified as leading destination for Ghana’s illicit cannabis exports – Report

“In particular, there has been a notable rise in the seizure of cannabis-laden cargo at the Accra International Airport and at border towns, driven by increasing demand for the high-THC cannabis produced in Ghana,” the report claimed.

The report links international demand to the potency of cannabis produced in Ghana, identifying markets in Europe and North America.

According to the report, Ghana has emerged as a prominent cannabis cultivation area in Africa, with seizures accounting for the bulk of drug interdictions in the country.
