Research Focus:  Ecological determinants of cocoa productivity
This research investigates the geospatial distribution of Ghanaian cocoa farms in order to identify in-situ ecological/biophysical limiting factors of the crop’s growth. The study result is expected to reveal location-specific inadequacies in cocoa farms e.g. diseased stands, dead soils and nutrient deficient soils. This information will be used to advocate for the manufacturing and adoption of spatially explicit soil amendment technology that can help farmers to increase cocoa yields from their farms.
