Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report shows that Ghana's economic decline of agricultural prices cannot be attributed solely to government price intervention. But intervention in the workings of the cocoa sector contributed heavly to the country's inability to achieve prosperity and stability after 1957. During the decades since independence in 1957, direct intervention in Ghana's all-important cocoa sector has been in the hands of a Cocoa Marketing Board (CMB), which sets annual producer prices, purchases the crop from domestic producers and markets it to foreign buyers. Although the chief reason for creating the CMB was to assure Ghana's cocoa farmers a stable and decent income, the agency's direct intervention helped to keep producer prices lower than they might have been otherwise. The government's direct and indirect intervention in the cocoa market, according to the study, far outweighed its incentives to cocoa producers. Moreover, most of the benefits of these incentives went to large producers rather than the far more numerous smallholders. Another important finding of this study is that government regulation of the cocoa sector had the serious negative long-term effect of deferring the replacement of old coffee trees with new ones.

Book Synopsis Ghana's Cocoa Pricing Policy by : Merrill J. Bateman
Download or read book Ghana's Cocoa Pricing Policy written by Merrill J. Bateman and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1990 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghana's cocoa production declined because of policies that overvalued the domestic currency and heavily taxed cocoa exports. A variable rate tax on cocoa (above the critical level) that increases and decreases with the world price would distribute the price risk between cocoa farmers and the rest of the society, stabilize cocoa farmers' real incomes, and let consumers share in windfall profits when world cocoa prices are high.

Download or read book The cocoa coast: The board-managed cocoa sector in Ghana written by Kolavalli, Shashidhara and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After almost 20 years of declining cocoa production, Ghana has been able in the last decade to increase the share of export prices going to producers and more than double production. Contrary to Washington Consensus prescriptions, these accomplishments were achieved through reforms that did not include market liberalization. In The Cocoa Coast: The Board-Managed Cocoa Sector in Ghana, the authors identify factors that have contributed to Ghana’s success in cocoa production. These include the accountability of the government for the sector’s performance (cocoa-sector performance being seen as a key dimension of economic management), its interest in maintaining the ability to raise funds globally as a reliable supplier of high-quality cocoa, and its policy of retaining a portion of producer revenues to promote the adoption of yield-enhancing measures. The authors also suggest how Ghana can improve the efficiency of the cocoa sector through measures such as increased transparency and curtailing services that would be better provided by the private sector. The Cocoa Coast will be a valuable resource for policy makers, development specialists, and others interested in different national development paths.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After almost 20 years of declining cocoa production, Ghana has been able in the last decade to increase the share of export prices going to producers, more than doubling production. Contrary to Washington Consensus prescriptions, these accomplishments were achieved through reforms but without liberalization of domestic and export marketing. The Cocoa Coast: The Board-Managed Cocoa Sector in Ghana seeks to understand the success of a sector that was not liberalized. The authors identify three major reasons for Ghana’s success in cocoa production. First, cocoa producers receive an increasing share of export prices, because of factors including a stakeholder-advised process for determining producer prices that also pays explicit attention to discouraging smuggling of cocoa to neighboring countries and the popular perception that cocoa performance is tied to the country’s general economic performance. Second, the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has a policy of retaining a portion of producer revenues to promote the adoption of yield-enhancing measures. Third, centralized marketing and maintenance of the high export quality for which Ghana is known enables the country to offer stable prices to producers and opportunities for local businesses to participate in the sector and retain some power in the global value chain.

Book Synopsis The Demand for Commodity Insurance by Developing Country Agricultural Producers by : Alexander H. Sarris
Download or read book The Demand for Commodity Insurance by Developing Country Agricultural Producers written by Alexander H. Sarris and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarris considers the benefit to agricultural producers of commodity price insurance that provides in every year - but in advance of the resolution of production and price uncertainty - a minimum price for a fixed or variable portion of production. Under the assumption that producers do not change their long term production and income diversification pattern, the author suggests a theoretical framework that leads to explicit formulas of the benefit in providing this type of insurance. He shows that this benefit depends not only on the actuarially fair insurance premium, but also on household-specific factors that depend on the attitudes to risk, the consumption smoothing parameters, and the household-specific exposures to income risks. The author applies the theoretical framework for Ghana, using the Ghana Living Standards Survey data to specify various classes of cocoa-producing households and monthly price data for both domestic and international prices, to formulate appropriate models for ascertaining price risks faced by producers. The author gives empirical estimates of the actuarially fair premium, and shows that they are smaller than market-based put option prices from organized exchanges. The overall benefit in providing minimum price insurance to households, however, turns out to be substantially higher than the actuarially fair premiums and the market-based put option prices. This is due to both the magnitude of the uncertainties facing the households, as well as their risk and consumption smoothing behavior.This paper - a product of Rural Development, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to analyze mechanisms for risk mitigation in agriculture.
