Ghana’s economic and agricultural transformation: past performance and future prospects
Ghana’s Economic and Agricultural Transformation reveals that despite over 30 years of continuous growth in per capita income and rapid urbanisation, it has not industrialised and most of its workers remain trapped in low productivity work in agriculture and services.
Using empirical analysis of the performance of Ghana’s economy and its agriculture sector over the past four decades, this recently published book offers key insights into harnessing agriculture’s potential for transformation in the country.
