Performance evaluation of prototype mechanical cassava harvester in three agro-ecological zones in Ghana
Large-scale cassava harvesting, especially during the dry season, is a major constraint to its industrial demand and commercial production. Manual harvesting is slow and associated with drudgery and high root damage in the dry season. Research on mechanisation of cassava production is very low especially in the area of harvesting, and currently there exists no known functional mechanical cassava harvesters in Ghana. -

Performance of integrated crop-small ruminant production systems in West Africa
This paper examines the performance of integrated crop-small-ruminant systems in the Subhumid and the Soudan-Sahelian zones of West Africa. Using cross-sectional data from 712 farmers from The Gambia, Ghana, Mali and Benin, the translog stochastic production frontier is used to estimate the technical efficiencies of farmers in each country. -
