Udals

An "udal" is a traditional unit of land measurement used in parts of West Africa, particularly in Ghana. Its size varies depending on the region and local customs, but it generally represents a specific plot of land used for farming or settlement purposes. The udal is rooted in historical land allocation practices and remains relevant today for local land transactions and customary land rights. While not an official measurement like acres or hectares, it holds cultural significance and is commonly used in rural communities to describe land ownership and boundaries.
