Abstract: | Cocoyam is an important food security crop in Ghana because it stores better than all other root
and tuber crops. Despite its socio-economic relevance, production has declined persistently since the last decade.
This study attempts to examine the profitability of cocoyam production to smallholders in Ghana by estimating the
returns on critical production resources. Using a multi-stage sampling technique, 150 cocoyam producers were randomly
sampled across three major producing regions in Ghana |
