| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the southern part of Ghana, crops cultivation for export and domestic sales is carried out by utilizing the high potential of agricultural production. But food crops are mainly produced for self-consumption in the northern part of Ghana because of the poor cultivation condition. Such dual production structures shows an obvious economic disparities between northern and southern Ghana. However, due to the penetration of market economy in the northern part of Ghana, migrant farmers and non-agricultural activities are increasing as farmers need to secure more income.
Further explored the current farming structure with reference to land use pattern and farming practices, and examined the transformation of farming practitioner to other sector because of market economy penetration in the northern part of Ghana.Such changes in external conditions are exerting a great influence on agricultural scale reduction and aging of farmers in the northern part of Ghana.
