Описание
Inaddequate information about the impact of interventions on farm level performance and welbieng among cocoa farmers motivated this study. The study specifically, investigates the effect of improved cocoa technologies on the productivity of smallholder cocoa farmers in Ashanti region of Ghana. It subsequently explains how the technologies affect farm level productivity. It revealed a low rate of adoption of improved cocoa technologies. It also show that apart from farm level factors, productivity is affected by adoption of improved technologies as well as idiosycratic factors. With this is recommends that future interventions should continue the promotion of new improved technologies. Farmers should also be trained on the proper handling and management of the technologies to obtain optimum benefits.
