Various businesses

Ghana is primarily a retail industry -- very little is produced, everyone just sets up a kiosk and sells just about the same thing as the guy/gal just down the road (I once recorded 18 businesses in a couple mile stretch of road each with nearly identical goods to sell -- building materials), and since Ghanaians don't understand/accept the laws of supply and demand, and how price effects supply/demand, but instead, are very much a socialistic people (we're all equal together), price doesn't change from vendor to vendor.  What's a customer to do?  It's a system that doesn't help the customer nor the business, but that's what Ghana does.

Too many gas stations, and not enough customers leads to empty gas stations -- everywhere.  The state sets the price of gas no matter where in the country the gas is sold.  Three more gas stations were under construction along the main road between Ayikuma and Adenta where there's already a plethora of gas stations.  Why?  I can only think that Ghanaians think pumping gas would be an easy job, so not understanding supply and demand, more gas stations are erected for the same number of customers.  Oh well.

But on the bright side is the beautiful gardens and fruit trees and vendors.  There is no better pineapple, coconut, mango, banana, avocados, and citrus in Ghana!

 Mango trees!!
