It contributes significantly to several  economic variables. By virtue of this, performance  of the economy is linked to the sector's growth. Any  adverse effect in the sector will therefore have  serious repercussions on the economy. The intentions  of Governments'have been to expand output and  marketed surpluses through increase production,  productivity and attainment of food elf-sufficiency.  The effectiveness of such policies however, rests on  the extent to which farmers respond to incentives  proffered under the policy instruments. From an  empirical perspective,this book looks at the supply  response elasticities of the food crop sub-sector of  Ghana, focusing cassava and maize (major staples).  It offers explanation on how relative increases in  agricultural prices and rural infrastructural  developments have shaped the level of food crop  production in Ghana. This book should particularly  be useful to students and professionals of supply  response, agricultural economics and farm  manager.Others considering enrolling in a policy- productivity linkages course can read it as a  guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844392593\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Case of Maize and Cassava in the Ejura Area of Ashanti Region, Ghana\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844392593","offer_id":39471395799133,"sku":"9783844392593","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/500a48de-37a2-4933-86aa-539948f5ee70.jpg?v=1738395147","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/supply-response-of-food-crops-in-rural-farming-communities-von-richard-a-ampadu","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
