Agricultural production and food security in Ghana

Sakyi, Emmanuel Kweku Appeagyei

The aim of the work is to assess the level of agricultural production and food security in Ghana. The methodology used for the work was through the use of qualitative analysis of various researchers. Secondary data was predominantly used as a result of careful applying reasonable data simulation techniques. This work was strictly descriptive in nature. The results noted are numerous, to mention a few, the decline in agriculture labor force which is adversely affecting the country in absolute level terms and relative importance. It is noticed that agriculture production is not having an impact on food security problems. Irrigation facilities for farming is almost nonconformer to agricultural production, even though there is progress in increase of production. The government needs to balance labor flows within the country. Agricultural Production can be improved through the enhancing and extending the provision of external farming education, fertilizer usage being key to improving agriculture production on yield. In the long term, there is the need on expounding on agrarian politics. The use or adaptation to a good blend of both protectionist and liberal trade policies could be advantageous to Ghana, since they are not a price changer/maker in the globe.
