RICE PRODUCTION IN GHANA: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.DRIVING FORCES AND REQUIRED ACTIONS BOANSI DAVID
RICE, FOOD FOR THE PEOPLE • RICE, SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD THROUGH PRODUCTION & MARKETING • RICE AS A POLITICAL CROP IN GHANA AND MOST WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES BACKGROUND
CHANGING CONSUMER PREFERENCES: INCREASING CONSUMPTION • PRODUCTION LESS THAN 40% OF DEMAND AND NATIONAL SUPPLY (Olaf and Emmanuel, 2009; Lançon and Hélène, 2007) • INFLUX OF IMPORTED RICE, HIGH PRICES OF IMPORTED AGRICULTURAL INPUTS ⇒ NEGATIVE RETURNS ⇒ 66% OF RICE PRODUCERS (FAO, 2006) • DRIFT FROM RICE PRODUCTION; LIMITED REPLACEMENT FOR AGING FARMERS ⇒ EXPOSURE OF GHANA TO SHOCKS ON WORLD MARKET MOTIVATION/PROBLEM STATEMENT IRREGULAR SUPPLY OF LOCAL RICE LOW QUALITY
OBJECTIVETO IDENTIFY AND MEASURE THE MAGNITUDE OF EFFECT OF THE KEY ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF LOCAL RICE PRODUCTION IN GHANA • PERFORMANCE IN MEETING SUPPLY AND DEMAND • ASSESS DEVELOPMENTS IN PADDY PRODUCTION, HARVESTED AREA AND YIELD • ESTIMATION OF LONG-RUN RELATIONSHIPS (COINTEGRATING REGRESSION –FMOLS) • ESTIMATION OF SHORT-RUN EFFECTS (ERROR CORRECTION MODEL)
TRENDS DEVELOPMENTS IN RICE PRODUCTION : TRENDS RICE PLANNING
