“We Have Plenty Of Plantains, But No Buyers” – Agogo Market Sellers Appeal To Ghanaians

According to a Post by ABNMedia on Facebook Official account on Wednesday, Oct 21, 2026, Plantain sellers at Agogo Market are appealing to Ghanaians to help them by buying their produce, as they struggle to attract customers despite having large quantities of plantains available for sale.

According to the traders, their current problem is not a lack of plantains but the absence of enough buyers to purchase the produce they have brought to the market. They say the situation is making it difficult for them to sell their goods and earn money from their businesses.

The sellers are calling on individuals, food vendors, retailers and bulk purchasers to visit the market and patronise their plantains. They believe increased customer interest could help them sell their produce and reduce the difficulties they are facing.

For many of these traders, selling plantains is an important source of income that helps them provide for their families and meet their daily financial responsibilities. When customers fail to turn up, the traders risk losing money, especially when their goods remain unsold for extended periods.

Plantains are commonly used in preparing several Ghanaian meals, making them an important part of the country’s food market. However, having enough produce does not automatically guarantee good sales, as traders also depend on customers who are willing and able to buy.

The situation at Agogo Market highlights the difficulties that can arise when supply is higher than the demand from customers. Traders may have enough goods to sell, yet struggle to make the expected income without steady patronage.

The sellers are therefore urging Ghanaians to support their businesses by purchasing plantains whenever possible. They hope the appeal will reach more consumers and encourage people to visit the market.

For the traders, attracting more buyers could make a significant difference by helping them earn an income and preventing their produce from going to waste.
