Africa’s agriculture sector, particularly south of the Sahara, has enormous potential to provide jobs and food for a growing population—and thus contributing to food security, economic growth, and poverty reduction. To realize this potential, farmers across Africa have increasingly turned to mechanization.
In 2011, at the request of the Ghanaian government, IFPRI began work to assess the impacts and progress of mechanization programs in Ghana. These assessments shaped reforms and policies, helping farmers reduce drudgery and improve efficiency and yields.
Tamsin Zandstra, Sam Benin, and Seth Asante outline how farmers have benefited from Ghana’s Agricultural Mechanization Services Enterprise Centers Program.
