#3in Ghana, how well are property laws enforced? Is there violence against farmers, like there is in South Africa? Article does not touch on this, but could be another reason why people choose not to farm.

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but this is largely a conspiracy theory concocted by the far right:

The story about violence against farmers is mostly a white supremacist myth.
“Mostly” because there obviously are some cases, but those do not statistically differ from crime in general.
Also strange to immediately think of South Africa when reading about Ghana. Ghana is closer to Brazil and Spain than it is to SA.

Ghanese farmers aren't white so I think it's unlikely.

Your Wikipedia article says exactly the same in the very first graph?
Quote: “it is unclear whether farmers are at greater risk of being murdered than other South Africans”
Later: “Fact-checkers have widely identified the notion of a "white genocide" in South Africa as a falsehood or myth.[12][17]”

That article is heavy on how "the other" is talking about this, but light on facts about the situation on the ground.
Here is an article about the farm attacks https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/south-africa...

> Unsubstantiated claims that such attacks on farmers disproportionately target whites are a key element of the white genocide conspiracy theory and have become a common talking point among white nationalists worldwide.[11][12][13][14][15][16] However, there are no reliable figures that suggest that white farmers are being targeted in particular or that they are at a disproportionate risk of being killed.[1][4][12][17][18][19][16] In fact, while South Africa has more white farmers overall, black farm workers are more likely to be killed.[2][3] Fact-checkers have widely identified the notion of a "white genocide" in South Africa as a falsehood or myth.[12][17]
