Excavadoras usadas to Ghana

Why Ghana imports the way it does.

Ghana has emerged as one de West Africa's strongest excavadora usada import markets. Driven by Ghana's position as Africa's second-largest gold producer (after South Africa), ongoing road construction across the cocoa belt and major cities, and steady real estate development in Accra and Kumasi. The market is particularly active in the 20-35 tonelada class — Cat 320/330, Komatsu PC200/PC300, Hitachi ZX200/ZX350.

Gold mining in the Ashanti Región (Obuasi, Kenyasi), Western Región (Tarkwa, Prestea), and emerging artisanal-formalized operations across the country generates strong demand for medium and large excavators. Minería operators favor Caterpillar and Komatsu for proven local parts support, with growing acceptance de Sany and XCMG for cost-sensitive projects.

UCR number must be declared in advance through the importer's bank. We coordinate the GSA process at standard cost — typically $500-700 for the clase 20 toneladas.
