Received 4 September, 2020; Accepted 23 December, 2020 The investigation considered farmers’ readiness to take part in crop insurance in the Dormaa municipality of the Bono Region, Ghana. Essential information from 167 respondents who were chosen through a multi-stage sampling method for the study was collected through a structured questionnaire. Elements influencing readiness to participate in crop protection by cocoa farmers was evaluated using probit regression model and lastly constraints of cocoa farmers were assessed utilizing Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. The study found that the average amount farmers were eager to pay was GH₵215.59 per year for crop insurance. Majority 96.7% of the respondents were eager to participate in crop insurance but 3.3% of the respondents were not willing to take part. The important factors influencing readiness to join crop insurance by the farmers were age, marital status, access to extension service and experience in cocoa farming. Again, the foremost constraint affecting the farmers was pests and diseases. The study therefore recommends that agricultural extension agents and other agricultural insurance stakeholders should sensitize crop farmers on the significance of crop insurance policy. Insurance companies ought to give crop insurance to farmers at moderate rates of GH¢ 215.59 per year to encourage their participation. Key words: Crop insurance, cocoa, probit regression, Dormaa Municipal assembly, Ghana. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is critical to the economy of each emerging 2017 to 19.7% in 2018.

This is on the grounds that any significant As indicated by Ray (2001), crop insurance can provide disaster in this sector will negatively affect both the a cushion for yield damages in an awful time and assist macroeconomic and the microeconomic areas of the guarantee a significant level of protection in farm returns economy. Despite the fact that danger in the agricultural in the long term.

This can because of unpredicted climate conditions, pests and assist to safeguard agriculture and the bigger economy. disease invasions and sporadic economic situations Agricultural insurance is thus an indispensable aspect of triggering harvests and prices to sway widely. Cocoa the institutional arrangement crucial for the growth of food production ought to be given more consideration to production; generally a high-hazard endeavour. One of enlarge Ghana's income and in addition to assist with Ghana’s main national export produce is cocoa (Anang, settling the food security challenges in parts of the nation. 2011). At the national level, cocoa’s contribution to trade As per Oluyole and Sanusi (2009) prior investigations balance is in excess of over 20% of the total annual recognized some significant explanations behind export revenue. The cocoa sector in Ghana has been differences in cocoa output which include low harvest, pronounced as an African success story for the reason impulses of environment, extreme climate situations, that over the years, the country has continued its status infection occurrence, pest invasion, and regular dangers as one of the worlds’ foremost suppliers of the crop like heavy downpour, erosion and long dry seasons. High (Williams et al., 2015). risks and uncertainties related with agricultural production From 1911 to 1960, Ghana led in the supply of cocoa has been ascribed to the decline in production of cocoa beans, exporting about 40% of the total world output. (Aderinola and Abdulkadri, 2007). This is due to the fact Ghana went through two significant cataclysmic events that similar to other crops, cocoa needs extensive over the past three decades affecting agricultural uninterrupted and incessant interaction with the forces of activities (Nimoh et. al., 2011). These debacles were nature. These threats and vulnerabilities are unpredicted prolong dry season and flooding. These hostile situations and they are outside the capability of the farming prompted inescapable decimation of farmland and deaths households, subsequently, the farmers can just cope with in the pretentious zones (Agyemang, 2010). In 1983, them.

In the light of this, Ajakaiye and infections and shrubbery fire (Nimoh et. al., 2011). Cocoa Adeyeye (2001) discovered that smallholder-farming farmers lost almost all their funds. In situations like this households in many emerging nations of the world with crop insurance is the only option to mitigate such no exception to Ghana are ensnared in the rancorous problems that may arise from natural causes.

This succession is portrayed by interest has increased in introducing weather-based crop low output and low returns from the farm, occasioning in insurance contracts to farmers as a means to help them practically no sparing funds, necessary for the revolution break out of their vicious cycle of poverty (Barrett et al., of their farming expedition, accordingly adding to the low 2008). position conferred on farmers within the populace. Insurance decreases the effect of yield destruction and Conversely, Quagrainie (2006) prescribed that insurance damages; offer farmers earnings and production could be utilized to abate financial expenses of numerous cushioning (ILO, 2011). Advantages of this nature give hostile events, for example, deaths, accidents, burglary impetus to crop insurance as an avenue that diminishes and weather damages. Insurance is defined as an the effect of output risk.

  • Original Research Article
    Original Research Article Socioeconomic Impact Development Projects on the Livelihood of Farmers within the Inundation Zone- A Case Study of the Bui Dam Hydroelectric Project Abstract The development of major social projects such as hydroelectric dams, roads and mining often result in the loss of property and sometimes relocation of the affected people or communities. This paper examined the impact of the Bui Dam Hydroelectric project on the livelihood of the people affected, especially farmers in the Bono Region of Ghana. The paper also reviewed the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report of the project in line with the Environmental Protection Agency requirement, examined the compensation and the living conditions of the farmers in the affected communities. Interviews and focus group discussions of farmers in four communities were conducted which was later followed by the administration of questionnaires to seventy-five (75) farmers. The review of the ESIA report of the Bui dam showed that an extensive ESIA was conducted with only a few lapses outlined in the text. The interviews and the questionnaires revealed that the farmers who were relocated have problems with land acquisition, soil fertility and irrigation facilities when they were moved to their new location. There were also concerns about inadequate payment of compensations and unfulfilled promises. However, about 97.3% of the respondents were comfortable at their new location because of the proximity to health services, access to good roads, nice buildings and provision of some basic social amenities such as light and water, as well as possible business and employment opportunities. The paper makes suggestions for improving compensations and resettlement schemes in Ghana.

The following is the classification of FM radio broadcasting stations in Ghana.
