Agricultural Mechanization Strategy and Japan-Ghana Co-operation

摘要

Agriculture is a major source of employment for many Ghanaians and contributes a major part of the Gross Domestic Product of the country. As such to increase the nations GDP and the livelihood of the citizenry, there is the need to increase agricultural production through effective mechanization. As at 2002, only 13.4 % of Ghanaian farmers had access to mechanical power which is the backbone of mechanization (Josiah et al., 2008). This shows there is so much to be done to attain a high level of mechanization.
