I also would like to draw your attention about Ghana exports 2007 reported
in Comtrade. The product codes 15, 20, 19 and 11 are in the top six sectors
exported by Ghana in 2007 and the annual growth rate for these sectors is
above 1000 %. The growth of these sectors is not reflected when we check
mirror data.

Data Reference: Ghana 2007 was received on 28 August 2008; published on 29 September 2008

Analysis from original Ghana 2007 data showed unusual high trade values for some commodities. We were able to pin point the problem into 4 records:

Code	Description	Export	Value in Local Currency
1106201030	Gari	United States	59,343,698.28
1515901100	CRUDE SHEA (KARITE) OIL AND FRACTIONS	NETHERLANDS	266,360,722.41

2008910000	Palm hearts, prepared or preserved (excl. those of 20.06 and 20.07)	United States	176,111,590.24

COMESA noted that the values were reported in old Ghana Cedis. Once, we get the revised data, we'll process it as soon as possible.
