    Ghana: Retail Foods Report

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 5/22/2017 GAIN Report Number: Ghana Post: Accra Retail Foods Report Report Categories: Retail Foods Approved By: Ryan Scott Prepared By: Joshua Taylor Report Highlights: Occupying 28th position on the 2016 edition of the Global Retail Development Index by A.T Kearney, Ghana has finally broken into the top 30 countries with massive potential for thriving retail business in the world. Ghana, a model of stability in West Africa, has over the last six years, had its economy grown by an average of six percent each year, hitting a record-breaking 14 percent in 2011. Growth declined in the following years down to GDP value of 3.9 percent in 2015, the slowest growth rate in 20 years. In 2017, economists expect the country to post strong growth of around seven percent. A middle class is fast emerging, with its attendant wealthy consumers who are increasingly embracing western brands, products and lifestyles. Therein lays business opportunities for exporters of retail foods, namely cereals, meat (including poultry) and meat products, soybean meal, prepared food, skim milk powder and other high-value products from the United States. Executive Summary: Ghana’s Economic Outlook: The International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook database of October 2014 pegged Ghana’s annual growth rate in 2011 at 15 percent. Ghana’s outlook is predicted to be fairly stable. It was envisaged that growth would be slow in 2016 but be bolstered by robust private consumption and fixed investment along with a steady spending on High-Value Products (HVP) in 2017.

BOXAE 50, ATOMIC ENERGY, ACCRA. GHANA ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION, MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, GHANA. BNARI and its mandate a) Structure BNARI. a semi-autonomous research institute under the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), was established in 1993. The organs of BNARI are the Management Board, the Secretariat and three scientific departments, namely, Department of Animal Science, Department of Food Science and Radiation Processing and the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences. b) Mission Its mandate is to advance, through research and related training and development activities, the sustainable improvements in agricultural production and productivity to enhance nutrition, development and economic and social well-being, especially among rural low income people. The paramount objective of the institute is to help Ghana attain self-sufficiency in food security in both crops and livestock products so as to alleviate malnutrition, hunger and poverty. It also provides scientific and technical advice and information in the field of biotechnology and nuclear agriculture in furtherance of socio-economic development and national efforts to improve quality of life. c) Scope BNARI's concerns are: * promoting sustainable agriculture and ensuring food and economic security; * improving the health care; * advocating sustainable management of natural resources, including biodiversity conservation; * catalysing the adoption of science and technology as keys to national development in partnership with local communities and other national and international research institutions and organizations. BNARI aims to achieve these objectives through interactive, mission-orientated research, starting from basic scientific principles through the incorporation of indigenous knowledge and agricultural practices into improved technologies to end-user applications.

Box 25 Legon, Ghana February, 1998 Farming in the Shadow of the City: Changes in Land Rights and Livelihoods in Peri-Urban Accra Abstract Contending perspectives have interpreted the impact of rapid growth in peri-urban areas in very different ways. One school of thought characterizes peri-urban growth as leading to the development of new markets, and the conversion of property rights in such a way as to transform the local economy, leading to greater entrepreneurialism. Another sees the destruction of agricultural livelihoods without necessarily replacing them with any alternative form of economic activity. This paper reviews the literature on pen-urban land use, property rights change, and livelihoods, and then compares four cases within the peri-urban periphery of Greater Accra, the capital and largest city of Ghana, to assess the impact of rapid urban sprawl on the area immediately surrounding the city.
  • Association Between Geography and Diseases in Ghana

    Association Between Geography and Diseases in Ghana

    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Place, People and Diseases: Association Between Geography and Diseases in Ghana Michael Kwame Dzordzormenyoh, Ph.D.1, Divine Mawuli Asafo 2, Theresa Domeh3 1 Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Black Studies Research University of California, Santa Barbara 2 Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Urban Studies & Planning University of Sheffield, UK 3 Undergraduate Student, Department of Geography & Regional Planning University of Cape Coast, Ghana ABSTRACT There is a growing field of literature addressing the relationship between geography and health. A person’s physical environment has the potential to present various risks or protective factors that may influence health. Exploring this relationship within Ghana’s Ledzokuku-Krowor municipality broadens the field of literature on this topic as it relates to West African communities. Identifying frequently reported diseases from health care professionals and residents provides a look into the major health outcomes in the region. This manuscript is exploratory and could lay the groundwork for future researchers to further investigate potential risk factors that contribute to high rates of disease (e.g., malaria, hypertension, rheumatism). KEY WORDS Geography, Disease, Healthcare & Ghana INTRODUCTION Africa provides an unbounded scope for the practice of geography (place of residence and work), disease and health. The nature and purpose of the nexus between geography and disease varies in definition (McGlashan, 1972; Hunter, 1974; Pyle, 1976; Abalo et. al., 2018; Tutu & Busingye, 2020). Africa provides infinite examples of the nexus between geography and disease. In the continent, man and environment are closely linked in a complex relationship which frequently presents conditions of disequilibrium whereby diseases flourish and health is impaired (Tilley, 2004; Emmanuel et.

Certain consequences of the development of this co- hort in the cities, such as acts of delinquency and riots in the towns, lack of sufficient manpower in the rural areas and strain on services within the cities, were perceived as a growing problem by the governments. There is a direct correlation between the governments' perception of the con- sequences of this youth cohort development and the enactment of programs for youth in national development.
