Agricultural technologies (Agri-technologies hold great potential for food systems transformation and economic development. However, in most developing countries, including Ghana, the commercialization of research outputs remains unappreciable.
This study seeks to identify the key determinants of agri-technology development and the major factors influencing agri-technology commercialization in public Ghanaian research institutions.
Various supporting institutions play crucial roles in the co-generation and
To identify the roles and strutcural linkages among supporting institutiosn within Ghana's agri-technology ecosystem. Additionally. The study seeks to identify opportunities that can be leveraged to enhance agri-technology commercialization in Ghana.
Although efforts are being made by various stakeholders including governments to strengthen the linkages between research institutions and firms, the barriers that hinder agri-technology development, transfer and adoption lead to unsuccessful commercialization of agri-technologies. It is on this premise that this study seeks to :
Identify the major barriers that hinder agri-technology transfer from research institutions in Ghana and also identify the barriers that prevent successful adoption of agri-technologies by agribusinesses.
