Ghana Tops Global Milk Price Rankings
A global comparison of retail milk prices has revealed that Ghana has the highest milk prices in the world, significantly outpacing other major economies. According to the latest data, South Korea ranks second at $3.42 per litre, followed closely by the United States at $3.31, highlighting a sharp price disparity across regions.
The findings underline how structural factors such as import dependence, supply chain inefficiencies, and limited domestic production can drive up consumer milk prices in certain countries. In contrast, nations with stronger local dairy ecosystems or government-supported supply chains tend to maintain more affordable pricing for consumers.
At the lower end of the spectrum, countries like Tunisia feature among those with the cheapest milk prices globally, emphasizing the wide gap between high-cost and low-cost dairy markets.
The global ranking highlights a growing imbalance in dairy affordability, with price volatility increasingly shaped by local production capacity, import reliance, and economic conditions, making milk significantly more expensive in certain regions despite its status as a staple food.
