The Smallholder Rice Farmers in Ghana’s Kpong and Weta Irrigation Projects study sample is comprised of 1,616 smallholder farmers who cultivated rice plots within the two communities, Kpong and Weta, located in Ghana’s Eastern and Volta Regions. Approximately one-third of the study sample farmers are female. Three main data collection rounds took place. A baseline survey in late 2013 captured data on the 2012 major cropping season. And two additional data collection rounds captured data on the 2013 minor and 2014 major cropping seasons, respectively. This study took place as part of the Ghana Commercial Agriculture Project (GCAP), which is a program funded by the World Bank and USAID that aims to promote agricultural productivity and livelihoods, specifically by linking small farmers into the agricultural value chain. These surveys were conducted with the intent of being used as part of an impact evaluation on the impact of out-grower contracts on smallholder farmers. However, the impact evaluation was discontinued after GADCO, the private sector partner that was operating the out-grower program, changed their plans for the program.
