Summary

In Ghana, cashew nut sub-sector has gained attention ever since cashew development project was instituted in 2006 and since then several interventions have been geared towards improvement of yield. Despite those efforts production have not reached desirable level hence the need to assess effect of farming practices on quantity and quality of cashew nut produced by smallholder farmers in Wenchi municipality of Ghana. Specifically, the study identified gaps in farming practices of smallholder farmers whose farm size was between 0.8-3ha as they form larger part of producers along the cashew nut value chain in Ghana.
