Despite the significance of the agricultural sector to poverty reduction and overall development, the sector is characterized by low production and poorly functioning markets for outputs. Small holder farmers rely on rudimentary methods and technology and they have limited skills and inputs such as improved seeds that would increase yields (MoFA, 2007). Peasant and subsistence farming with the use of rudimentary technologies have been very predominant in the agricultural sector of Ghana, resulting in low levels of production. Although the sector contributes significantly to the Gross Domestic Product of the country, its per capita contribution is very insignificant; thus the overall production has not been up to the level that will ensure that the sector makes the needed impact (MoFA, 2008).
