high efficiency and lower residual oil rate maize oil processing in Ghana

This study used the input-oriented data envelopment analysis to examine the technical efficiency of maize production in northern Ghana 1 using

Farm productivity in most developing countries remains low, hence the need to enhance technical efficiency (TE) of producers. This study evaluates the TE of maize production in rural Ghana,

Purpose: In Ghana, maize constitutes the primary source of revenue and food for small-scale farmers, and to attain maize self-sufficiency, appropriate production techniques must

improved maize varieties and appropriate soil fertility management as sustainable strategies in maize production and recommends the application of 50% inorganic 0% goat manur in both AEZs.

The scenarios were dubbed as follows: (1) no/low input systems were denoted by Extensive0, Extensive12, and Intercrop20, and (2) moderate/high input systems were denoted by

The lack of commercial or industrial processing of maize, and improper storage facilities is causing immense food losses and insecurity in Ghana. Due to this farmers are compelled to sell their

Maize, soybean and cowpea are important staple food items in Ghana. Although the use of these crops is bedevilled with a number of constraints, Chulwuji et al. 5 opined that proper processing

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the differences in productivity and technical efficiency levels of maize producers in three ecological zones in Ghana. It also seeks to identify the sources

The plantations represent 20% of the area under oil palm while smallholders represent 80% of the area under oil palm. (iv) Small-scale producers produce approximately 60% to 80% of Ghana’s

The review article intended to provide an overview of quality variation and various contaminants in locally processed palm oil (PO). The paper also deliberates on the pros and cons of wastes

The yields of maize, sugarcane and palm oil in Ghana are lower than the global average. There is, therefore, an opportunity to increase productivity per hectare and use the

This research investigates productivity differences among small scale palm oil processors in Ghana using various processing technologies, focusing on the impacts of traditional versus

A two-year field experiment was carried out to determine the interactive effects of plant density and N rate on grain yield, economic benefit, water productivity (WP) and nitrogen

Background Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) is the most abundantly cultivated and highly valued food commodity in the world. Oil from maize kernels is highly nutritious and

This report summarizes the key findings of the study conducted by TASAI in 2025 to appraise the structure and economic performance of Ghana’s formal seed system. TASAI studies focus on

Formal processing is dominated by a few large scale processors of nuts (e.g. Ghana Nuts) and large scale oil millers based aroundTechiman. New snack manufacturers have emerged in

The value of high-oil maize is reflected in higher oil, amino acid, and protein contents than normal maize and good germplasm quality for breeding.

In 2025, the Ghanian refined maize oil market decreased by -8.9% to $35M, falling for the second consecutive year after two years of growth. In general, consumption, however,

Apr 2, 2002Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Nyankpala, near Tamale, Ghana, during the 2025 cropping season and continued during 2025, to investigate one year residual effects of indigenous organic materials (biochar,

The maize germ is valuable by-product of starch processing industry being rich in oil. The maize germ was separated from maize kernels using manual wet milling method. The present study
