Hohoe District covers an area of 117,200 hectares. Available land suitable for agricultural purposes is 65,000 hectares: that is, 55,085 hectares for crop and 9,962 hectares for livestock production (47% and 8.5% for crops and livestock respectively).

Majority of the people of the Municipality (about 65%) are engaged in agricultural production. The technology employed in Agricultural Production in the Municipality is largely the traditional cutlass and hoe. Mechanized farming is very limited and the rate of adoption of other Agric related technologies is equally low. Farming is entirely rain - fed as there are no irrigation facilities, and this culminates in low productivity. Access roads to farming centres are also poor thus hampering the marketing of the products. These together with the absence of storage facilities give rise to high post harvest losses.
Hohoe District was created in 1979 after being couched out of the part of the old Jasikan and Kpandu District Councils. The first schedule of the L.I 1462 which established the present Hohoe District Assembly lists out the number of settlements that come under its jurisdiction.

Hohoe Municipality, situated in the centre of the Volta Region, with Hohoe as its capital, was created in 1979. The Republic of Togo borders the district to the east, while to the west is Kpando District. On to the north-west is Jasikan District and to the south is Ho Municipal. The District houses part of the Akwapim-Togo ranges extending beyond the country’s eastern boundary all the way to Western Nigeria.
