Agbobloshie Market

Agbogbloshie Market is one of Accra’s largest and busiest trading hubs, serving as a key center for fresh food distribution and technical scrap trading. The market is especially known for its extensive sections of yams, onions, vegetables, and other indigenous produce, making it a vital destination for both wholesalers and everyday shoppers. Home to around 15,000 traders, many of whom are economic migrants from Northern Ghana, the market is a vibrant economic microcosm reflecting the city’s diversity and entrepreneurial spirit. Trading is organized through Commodity-Based Trading Associations, which help manage operations, coordinate vendors, and maintain order. As of 2025–2026, Agbogbloshie Market is undergoing major modernization under a master plan by the Ga Mantse, including the development of a modern complex with over 100,000 trading stalls aimed at reducing congestion and improving sanitation. The market combines traditional commerce, community interaction, and emerging urban development, making it a central hub of Accra’s economic and cultural life.
