These three sectors contribute to the national output. For decades prior to the 2000s, the Agriculture sector contributed the most to the national output. Sadly, in recent years however, the sector has been the least contributor. 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 of the crops (yield gap) has widened. Low and inadequate levels of usage of productivity enhancing technologies such as quality seeds of improved varieties and fertilizer, thin extension services and weak market linkages contributes to the poor agriculture performance. It was against this background that the NPP led government implemented one of their flagship programmes “Planting for Food and Jobs”. The programme is primarily aimed at making subsidized improved seeds…arrow_forwardThis year, if two million new babies were born in the U.S. and if two million more immigrants came to the U.S., then the Annual Real GDP Per Capita will go down if we assume no change in the real GDP figure between this year and last year.arrow_forward
