Techiman Market
One of West Africa's largest agricultural produce markets, where trade in yams, maize, cloth and daily goods is lively and bustling.
Techiman lies about 60 km south of Kintampo and is a hub for north–south transport in Ghana. Techiman Market is one of the largest food and agricultural wholesale markets in West Africa. Yams, maize and onions from the north, and cassava, plantains and dried fish from the south, all meet here. There are also many cloth stalls, including Kente and other fabrics, along with plenty of everyday goods. Traders from neighbouring countries such as Burkina Faso and Mali are often seen here. The market trades every day, and it is busiest on market days (usually Wednesday to Friday). It is crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings, and ask permission before photographing people. It can be combined with Tanoboase Sacred Grove and Buoyem on a day trip.
