Atimpoku Abolo Market

Atimpoku Abolo Market is a local market in Atimpoku, the administrative capital of the Asuogyaman District in Ghana's Eastern Region. It is one of the district's main marketing centres, listed by the Asuogyaman District Assembly alongside Akosombo, Marine, Frankadua, Sapor and Labolabo.

What sets Atimpoku apart in the district's own records is its frequency of trading. The Assembly's 2025 Composite Budget states that most of these towns hold a weekly market day, while Atimpoku and Akosombo hold two market days a week — Mondays and Thursdays. For a visitor planning around the market, those two days are the practical anchor.

The same budget records the market's main commodities as yam, fish, tomatoes, charcoal and cassava, and gives its catchment area as including Somanya, Akrade and Odumase Ayemanso. In other words, this is a working market serving a wider trading area rather than a purpose-built visitor attraction.

The market is named as "Atimpoku Abolo Market" in the District Assembly's own reporting, which describes a donation of veronica buckets to the market on 2 April 2020 as part of COVID-19 sanitation support. A MOFEP-published Asuogyaman composite budget also refers to an "Extension of Abolo market", corroborating the Abolo name in the district.

Atimpoku itself sits along the Volta River near the Adomi (Volta) Bridge, the only suspension bridge in Ghana, which links the district to the Volta Region and northern Ghana. That setting makes the town a natural crossing point on a wider journey.

Visitors should plan conservatively. No source read documents daily opening or closing times, and no source read documents facilities such as toilets, water, parking or storage at the market. No precise coordinate or street address for the market was found either. Treat the market days as the reliable planning fact and confirm anything else locally.
