The Preferred Location

Ghana is a country with both urban and rural areas. Because of this, land prices fluctuate from location to location. So naturally, a plot will cost more in developed areas than in less developed areas.

The Intended Use

The intended use of a piece of land in Ghana affects the price. Naturally, you must choose land in rural areas if you intend to use it for farming. You will pay less for farmland than land in a developed area designated for a residential building project.
