Impact of Globalization on the Information Needs of Farmers in Ghana: A Case Study of Small-Scale Poultry Farmers

English

In Ghana the small-scale poultry farmers are among those that have been severely affected by the globalization process and trade liberalization. To manage their response to the globalization process and trade liberalization, the small-scale poultry farmers in Ghana need to have access to strategic information so that they can keep abreast of the global developments in the poultry industry and conduct their businesses strategically to respond to mitigate the negative impact of the globalization process. This paper presents results of a study involving 25 small-scale poultry farmers and two leading poultry farmers associations - the Ghana National Poultry Farmers Association and the Greater Accra Poultry Farmers Association and the changing information needs.
