Abstract:
Agriculture is deemed as a pivot around which economies revolve. The contribution of the
agriculture sector to economies cannot be overemphasized. In Ghana, for instance, the
agriculture sector has consistently been one of the major contributors of GDP of the country.
On the contrary, the standard of living of farmers is deplorable. In the quest of the
government of Ghana to eradicate the level of poverty among farmers and improve upon their
standard of living, many policies have been rolled out that is geared towards making farmers
in Ghana better off. This study examined the extent to which the living standard of farmers
have improved by critically assessing how well policy government’s policies on agriculture
have been effective and efficient. The study employed a logistic regression method on the
primary data collected from farmers in the country. The study found that farmers are
relatively living better currently than in previously years. Again, it was observed that farmers,
currently, are more likely to save and invest than they used to in previous years.
