TheeconomyofGhana ismadeupofthreesectorsnamelyAgriculture,Industryand Se rvice s. The se thre e sectors contribute to the national output. For de cade s prior to the 2000s, the Agricultural sector contributed the most to the national output. Sadly, in recent years however, the sector has been the least contributor to national output. Trends in production of major food crops such as maize, rice and sorghum show that on-farm productivity has stagnated and the exploitable difference between the actual and the potential output of most ofthe crops (yield gap) has widened. Low and inadequate levelsofusageofproductivityenhancingtechnologiessuchasqualityseeds of improved varieties and fertilizer, thin extension services and weak market linkages contributes to the poor agricultural performance. It was against this background that theNPP-led government implemented one of her flagship programmes “Planting for Food and Jobs”.

Suppose an economy produces only 2 products that will also be used for directconsumption, as per the article at the end of the exam: chicken wings and donuts. Inthe second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 180,000 pounds of chicken wings wereproduced, at a value of $3.50 per pound, while in the second quarter of 2022,production of chicken wings increased to 200,000 pounds, at a value of $3.75 perpound. In the second quarter of 2021 (the base period), 85,000 donuts were producedat a value of $0.85 per donut, while in the second quarter of 2022, donut productionincreased to 100,000 donuts, each at a value of $0.95 per donut. The population inthis economy is 1000 individuals in 2022, while the number of hours worked in 2022is 5000. Also, the quantities that were produced in 2021 represent the quantities thatwere purchased by the typical household, meaning that everything that was producedwas sold.d.
