Food is very essential for survival and as such, the average person consumes a controlled regime of food and water to maintain good health. The Ghanaian diet is not easily accessible compared to the Spanish diet, however it is still superior to the Spanish diet because it is economical and has a very high nutritional value. The Spanish also practice the Mediterranean way of eating of the people of the Mediterranean region (Spain, Greece, Crete, Italy etc…), but it has now spread to other parts of the world.

Furthermore, the main ingredients of the Ghanaian diet are seafood, dairy products, rice, corn, soybeans, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes, coccoyam, eggplant, okra, palm oil, garlic and rice.

The availability of cereals and fruit, which constitute an essential part of the Spanish diet, makes it accessible to the populations of that region (tbb.gen.tr, 2007). Mediterranean countries account for 95% of the world's olive cultivation because olive trees require a mild climate with hot summers, cold winters and rocky or preferably deep soils (Tous and Ferguson, 1996). This implies that accessibility is easy especially in Spain. The growth and modernization of Spain's agri-food industry has paved the way for larger companies capable of competing internationally to expand their operations. The implementation of international distribution has also been beneficial to the export sector in Spain as it has improved the sector
