  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

An Investigation on the Role of Visual Merchandising Displays in the Promotion of Traditional Apparels. An Evidence from Retailing the Asante Kente Apparel in Ghana. Archives of Business Research, 4(6), 300-311. An investigation on the role of Visual Merchandising Displays in the promotion of traditional fabrics. An evidence from retailing the Asante Kente fabrics in Ghana. Isaac Ofori-Okyere Department of Marketing and Strategy Takoradi Technical University. Safo Ankama Kweku Department of Textiles Takoradi Technical University Abstract The fierce competition and the similarity of competing merchandise characterised modern fashion industry impel fabrics retailers to utilise various visual merchandising displays (VMDs) to improve the desirability of their products and to achieve differentiation of their offerings from competition. This has led to this study investigating on the role played by the various VMDs in the promotion of Asante Kente fabrics. Reviewed literature comprised: the Kente apparel, various VMDs adopted by retailers to promote products, and benefits derived by apparel retailers from adopting VMDs. An explorative research and qualitative data were gathered by means of projected images and focus groups discussions and direct observations. The data were analysed by means of thematic analysis. Findings indicated that respondents have knowledge on certain VMDs both exterior and in-store, whereas, other VMDs were considered not appropriate in their line of business. This is to say that all the respondents contacted on the field agreed to certain positions established by extant theories regarding the adoption of VMDs and the role they play in promoting apparels in retail shops Key Words: Kente fabrics and apparels, Visual MercHandising Displays, Ghana.
