Abstract title: Doing primary research in a developing economy
Author: Kwasi Boahane
Issue: Volume 5, Number 3 1995

In 1992 and 1993 fieldwork was done in the Eastern Region of Ghana to examine why hybrid cocoa, introduced by cocoa institutions, was adopted by some farmers and not others. This report discusses the problems encountered when collecting data, including the low-level of farmers education, and the lack of official records and sampling possibilities.
