The Onion Market at Anloga

One of the most popular trading hubs is the Onion Market located at Anloga. This market is widely known for its large volumes of onion sales, attracting buyers and traders from both within and outside the municipality. The Onion Market has become an essential part of Oforikrom’s economy, creating jobs and supporting the livelihoods of hundreds of families.

Monthly Organic Farmers’ Market

In addition to daily markets, the Assembly has introduced a monthly farmers’ market at its forecourt. This special initiative gives local farmers the opportunity to showcase and sell their organic farm produce directly to consumers. It also helps promote healthy eating and encourages the consumption of fresh, chemical-free food within the municipality.

Other Daily Markets Across Oforikrom

Beyond the Onion Market, other active trading centers include:

• Ayigya Market (including Tech Junction) – a busy hub serving students, residents, and travelers.

• Nsenie Market – popular for household goods and fresh produce.

• Anwomaso and Ayeduase Markets – providing convenient access to daily needs in residential communities.

• Kotei Market and Main Anloga Market – vibrant spaces that connect traders to larger supply chains.

Strengthening Local Trade and Economy

The network of daily and monthly markets highlights Oforikrom’s strong trading culture and its role in Ghana’s urban economy. By supporting both small-scale farmers and large-volume traders, the municipality is creating opportunities for economic growth, employment, and food security.

With continued investment in infrastructure, sanitation, and organization, these markets have the potential to become models of sustainable urban trading in Ghana.
