Kantamanto Market in Accra's central business district is Ghana's and West Africa's largest second-hand clothing wholesale market; a UN human-rights report records its retail side at over seven acres with around 30,000 workers (figures per the report). Around 15 million used clothing, bag and shoe items pass through weekly; after a January 2026 fire destroyed nearly 60 percent of the retail side, rebuilding is under way and trade continues (progress unconfirmed).
Its core is bale import and sorting wholesale of used clothing, plus footwear and bags. Chinese manufacturers of new garments, footwear and bags can use it to understand West Africa's huge demand for affordable apparel and find alternative supply-chain partnerships with importers serving the value-conscious mass market. Chinese exporters planning market entry are advised to arrange on-site visits and work with local agents to establish their first working contacts with resident wholesalers.
