Determinants of Competitiveness of Irrigated and Rain-Fed Tomato Production Technologies in Ghana
This paper estimates the competitiveness and determinants of tomato farms under irrigated and rainfed technologies from four ecological zones in Ghana. Adopting the PAM model on a three-year panel data from 698 tomato farmers, comprising 206 irrigated and 492 rainfed farmers, the paper provides evidence that tomato farms under the two technologies are uncompetitive at aggregate level, and otherwise at individual farm level. The study found that access to credit, extension services, yield, fertilizer price, FBO membership, and farmer location have significant impact on competitiveness. The paper recommends that policy makers prioritize agricultural finance, access to technical and extension services
