Ghana has long been known for its gold, the resource that shaped its economy. But along the country’s coastline lies another valuable asset, vast lagoons rich in white salt. Hidden within these waters is a renewable mineral with enormous economic potential. Experts say Ghana’s salt industry could generate more than one billion dollars annually within the next decade. As attention turns to places like Songor Lagoon, this overlooked resource is now being seen as Ghana’s next major opportunity, a new form of 'white gold' that could transform local communities and strengthen the national economy.
