29 Ghanaian corporate farms provide a detailed view of agricultural operations. The database describes farm capitals, working time spent by different worker categories on crop, post-harvest, and livestock activities, and includes agricultural incomes. Pierre Girard of CIRAD authored this dataset, which was last updated in April 2026.
