Shea butter processing as an engine of poverty reduction in Northern Ghana: Case study of four communities in the Bolgatanga Municipality

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Peasant farming had been seen for many years as a means of fighting rural poverty in the Sub-Saharan zone of Africa. With the passing of time, new researches had shown that the notion is fading off since studies have established that only a small percentage of those farms have seen expansion and intensification leaving the rest stagnated with lowering productivity, decrease in size and low output. Alternative sources of rural income are therefore important to determine for specific locations. This paperlooks at the effects of shea butter processing on rural household income in four: communities in the Sumbrungu area of the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region of Ghana. Regression analysis performed indicated that shea butter processing activity in the selected communities is a signification source of income as compared to the official minimum daily wage in Ghana.
