  • An Evaluation of Challenges Facing Smallholders in Ghana: a Case Study for the Aowin Suaman District
    Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3208 (Paper) ISSN 2225-093X (Online) Vol.6, No.3, 2016 An Evaluation of Challenges Facing Smallholders in Ghana: A Case Study for the Aowin Suaman District Emmanuel Asafo-Adjei 1* Emmanuel Buabeng 2 1. Research Department, National Disaster Management Organisation, P.O.BoxCT3994, Accra-Ghana 2. Departments of Economics, College of Arts and Social Sciences, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana Abstract The majority of the Ghanaians populations live in rural areas where their livelihoods depend on smallholding agriculture. Smallholding farmers produce about 28.3% of GDP and 10% of all exports by value. It is estimated that 85% of cereals, 40% of rice and 100% of starch staple food, including significant exports and raw materials for local industries are produced by this type of farming system. Despite these contributions to food security, the sector is plagued with several challenges which militate against their success. Though, many researchers have discussed these challenges but failed to account for the magnitude and severity of these challenges with quantitative evidence as well as the sequential order of the problems. In an attempt to fill this gap, factor analysis methodology is used to evaluate the weight of each challenge confronting farmers in Ghana. With a semi- structured questionnaire, random sampling technique was used to select 381 farmers and interviewed. The findings revealed that five components containing 28 variables determine about 80% percent variations in the production of smallholders. These factors were named as managerial challenges (26.286% of variance), technological challenges (24.045% of variance), marketing challenges (15.685% of variance), extension services challenges (6.933 % of variance) and health related challenges (6.839% of variance).

    SEFWI BIBIANI-ANHWIASO- BEKWAI DISTRICT Copyright (c) 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Sefwi Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence-based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

B. Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Civil Department, Kumasi-Ghana [email protected],/[email protected]/ [email protected] NOVEMBER, 2016 SUMMARY The illegal artisanal small scale gold mining and processing (galamsey) cycle is well known: discovery, migration, and relative economic prosperity are followed by resource depletion, outmigration and economic destitution. Drugs, prostitution, disease, gambling, alcohol abuse, and degradation of moral standards are frequent consequences of the chaotic occupation at galamsey sites. It is apparent that the economic benefits obtained by the miners do not compensate for the deplorable socio-economic conditions left to surrounding communities. After depletion of easily exploitable gold reserves, sites are abandoned, and those who remain contend with a legacy of environmental devastation and extreme poverty. These people have little opportunity to escape their circumstances. Thousands of abandoned artisanal mines can be found in the Western Region of Ghana, and those currently operating will undoubtedly experience the same fate. This paper focuses on an important consequence of galamsey: closure and reclamation. By better understanding the magnitude of impacts caused, closure, decommissioning and costing principles relating to the various types of galamsey generally found within the Western Region of Ghana, effective measures for prevention and mitigation of pollution are more likely to be developed and implemented.
