Abstract

The mainspring and dominant feature of the modern economy in the countries of tropical Africa is the production of primary products, either agricultural or mineral, for export. The dominant feature of Ghana’s economy is its large agricultural sector which makes a distinct contribution to national economic development. In the absence of an abundance of mineral wealth, the key sector upon which the country’s economic development has critically depended has been agriculture. The improvement of agriculture therefore forms a central part of any sound economic development programme in the country. Many formidable obstacles are, however, strewn in the path of Ghana’s agricultural development and have tended to retard the rate of growth of the economy as a whole.
