Agriculture in African South of the Sahara (SSA) can be transformed if right public support is provided at initial stage, and it sustain itself once enabling environment put place. Successes are also specific to location projects. In Ghana, interesting insights obtained from successful Kpong Irrigation Project (KIP), contrasted with other major irrigation projects country. Through an exploratory review, we describe how a productive system evolved KIP for critical aspects (accumulation crop...

We also that, although employment...
We analyze the implication of structural change to evolving role agriculture using China as an example. By combining a growth decomposition exercise with Input-Output (IO) and CGE model analyses China's seven input-output tables (IOTs) in 1987–2017, is quantitatively measured. The analysis shows that between 1978 2017, doubled size its total labor force, while absolute number agricultural workers falls this period. Rising productivity has led rapid without increasing employment, allowing...
This paper sets out to identify avenues for pro-poor growth in Ghana, focussing on agricultural opportunities, particularly northern Ghana. Using an economywide, multimarket model and based time series production data between 1991 2000 Ghana Living Standards Survey of 1991/92 1998/99, this analyzes the possible poverty reduction trends up 2015 by assuming different patterns growth. The results show that agriculture-led has a larger reducing effect than nonagriculture-led from Author's Abstract
We develop a model economy that has many of the features Lewis (1954) but also includes an in-between sector as described by (1979). Our underscores importance following determinants structural change: (i) productivity growth in agricultural sector; (ii) nonagricultural and; (iii) terms trade. Public investment enhances all sectors when it is financed foreign inflows, causes real exchange rate appreciation leading to contraction open modern sector. These results provide partial explanation...
