We live in a world where within a click of a button you can get an item shipped to you from anywhere around the world to your door. However, we feel there are a few items that if you have the opportunity it is best to purchase at source.

One of the main reasons for buying goods or Ghanaian produce from Ghana is the price you will pay, then secondly the authenticity of the product. And thirdly when you are in Ghana and you buy goods you support the local economy and the home grown entrepreneurs.  We are not disputing or saying you should not shop online, if you have the deep pockets then its your choice. But we are putting it out there the price you will pay will always be inflated. Let’s give you an example, Shea butter can cost as little as $2-3 dollars for litre size bottle. Online you will be paying $7-8 dollars a ML. Or take the ever so popular Ankara Bomber Jackets in Accra you can get these for as little as $10-15 but online you will be paying a whopping $80.
