摘要

Cocoa production in Ghana increases deforestation as poor landholders encroach into forests to expand production. The management practices proposed in Climate-Smart Cocoa (CSC) can increase livelihoods while concurrently abating deforestation. This study investigates how yield and yield variation are affected by the adoption of CSC practices in order to determine the feasibility of a CSC crop insurance program in Ghana. To answer this question, we divided producers into two groups: those following CSC practices and those not following; then we used a multiple regression model to estimate yield and used the parameters of the model to simulate yields for CSC and non-CSC producers in 19 districts. Our results show that producers who followed the CSC recommended practices had higher estimated yields by 19-25%, were 5-25% less likely to have a yield loss large enough to receive an insurance payment, and the total expenses associated with indemnity payments in an insurance program were 20% less for CSC.
