Kpando Market

Kpando Market is the largest market in the Kpando Municipal District of the Volta Region, Ghana, and it sits in the town of Kpando itself. The Assembly describes it as a market of roughly 1.5 hectares, made up of about 60% permanent structures and 40% temporary ones — a mix that suggests a trading ground where fixed stalls and open, informal selling space sit side by side.

Its reach is wider than the municipality. The market's trade sphere of influence extends to the Jasikan, Hohoe, Ho and Biakoye districts, and to parts of the Eastern and Greater Accra Regions. For a visitor, that is the main reason it may be worth a look: it functions as a regional trading point rather than a purely local one, and it is one of the major sources of revenue for the Kpando Municipal Assembly.

The market operates on a five-day cycle rather than a fixed daily schedule. The Assembly does not publish daily opening hours, so the safest planning assumption is that activity follows that cycle, with the busiest periods falling on market days. No dedicated market phone number or email is published either.

Practical contact runs through the governing authority, the Kpando Municipal Assembly, whose office is at Fesi, adjacent to Victory Chapel, in Kpando. The Assembly's Client Service line is +233 362 350 222, its Social Welfare and Vulnerability line is 0362291139, and its email is [email protected]. Visitors with questions about the market, its cycle or access are best directed there.

A separate development is under way: the Assembly has begun a new 24-hour market project at Kpando Abanu, off the Fesi road, with a site and contract document handover. The project was scheduled to begin on 30 May 2026 and expected to be completed by 29 May 2027. It is a distinct site from the existing market and should not be confused with it.

The market centre is mapped at approximately 6.99536, 0.29399. That point marks the centre of the trading area rather than a visitor entrance, and no formal entrance, parking or visitor facilities are documented in the available sources.
