Abstract

Experts discuss how Japan and Ghana are cooperating with each other to mechanize agricultural activities in Ghana. Agricultural mechanization entails the provision of mechanical power for undertaking the various agricultural productions. One of the most important aspects of agricultural mechanization is the level of expertise of the personnel available to aid in effective mechanization. Japan is helping the country in modernizing its universities, institutes, and establishing government and private centers to achieve these objectives. An example of government and private sector intervention in Ghana is the Agricultural Mechanization Centers (AMSEC). These centers provide specialized services to the farmers. There needs to be collaboration between the Ghanaian and Japanese Engineers along with the researchers so that there will be constant evaluation and improvement in the existing systems.
