- W18771881 abstract "The Cornell Food and Nutrition Policy Program analyzed data from the 1987-1988 Ghana Living Standards Survey to examine levels and composition of food sources in different areas of Ghana and to introduce these observations into the context of food and nutrition policy in Ghana. The researchers focused on food consumption rather than nutrition. Even though there was considerable substitution between commodities grain prices determined calorie availability at the household level especially in the savannah zone where prices of millet sorghum and maize were important. Nationwide the net effect of an increase in maize price was a reduction in household calories and it was largest in the savannah zone. Increases in cassava prices tended to reduce available calories in forest regions. The price of cassava was almost always lower than grains. Cassava was also available throughout the year. Government programs that improve cassava production or reduce the cost of transport of cassava or the amount of spoilage of cassava will significantly increase household calorie availability. Increases in pest infestations of cassava will reduce food energy availability. A price increase of rice and yams would increase calorie availability because households will substitute these expensive foods with cheaper calorie sources. The Ghanaian diet is diverse. Female-headed households had lower household expenditures and did not allocate more resources to food than male-headed households. Expenditure patterns and low nutrition levels in the savannah accounted for this difference. Various methodological issues may have brought about inaccurate conclusions however. They are omission of information on the rate of stock utilization; lack of indication of months price; unfixed recall period; and no data on prices and quantities of purchased goods together. Nevertheless this study supports the belief that cross-sectional surveys can be used to obtain information on price response." @default.
