- W1626827813 abstract "textabstractIn the past decade or so there has been emphasis on increase inagriculture production in Ghana while ignoring the fact that theextra production may not reach the consumer because of marketingand distribution problems the alleged inefficient way in whichintermediaries (private) tend to handle produce. To overcome thisproblem, corporations like the Ghana Food Distribution and theGrains Board were set up as corporations under the Ministry ofAgriculture.The principle objectives of the above-named corporations tokeep down the prices of basic foodstuffs and ensuring their regularsupply are far from realisation. We cannot simply argue that eventhough agricultural output has increased the drastic cut in importsof agricultural produce and products from abroad causes prices ofcommodities to increase. We can only say that if total productionof produce has in fact increased by 30% as is maintained in certaincircles, this should offset the cut in imports since the relativeincrease in domestic production is higher than the relative decreasein imports. Ceteris paribus the relative prices of produce should beon the downward trend. The inefficient way in which the maingovernment food distribution organisation goes about its marketinghas much to do with this. For one thing, there has not been adequatepreparation for marketing the relative increase in food production.Suggested improvements in the organisational set-up of the corporationhave so far ended up in the lockers of some officials without anyfollow-up. This is partly due to over-centralisation at the nationalheadquarters of the corporation and the constant counter-measures ofthe Ministry of Agriculture under rwhich this corporation falls. Arelative-increase in produce which-may not actually benefit-agroalliedprocessing industries or final consumerscl-early calls for asystematic study of human and non-human factors which influence thesmooth flow of commodities. There is often total confusion (due tolack of basic marketing information) among government or non-governmentagencies as to what really constitutes the marketing problem. All theinformation which is systematically available on marketing are thewholesale and retail price information given by the Ministry ofAgriculture's Economic and Marketing-Divisions. Further, systematicinformation on the basic structure or types of intermediaries whooperate within the market is not available. As has been recentlypointed out - while some maintain that transportation is the mainbottleneck, others believe that the main impediment is the system ofprivate intermediaries. This assertion lends support to our statementthat marketing problems have not yet been idelntified, let alonestudied." @default.
