在经历了近20年的可可产量下降后，加纳在过去10年里提高了可可出口价格的份额，产量增加了一倍以上。与“华盛顿共识”的处方相反，这些成就是通过不包括市场自由化的改革取得的。在《可可海岸：加纳董事会管理的可可行业》一书中，作者指出了促成加纳可可生产成功的因素。其中包括政府对该部门绩效的问责制（可可部门绩效被视为经济管理的一个关键方面），作为高质量可可的可靠供应商，政府有兴趣保持在全球筹集资金的能力，以及政府保留部分生产者收入以促进采取增产措施的政策。这组作者还提出了加纳如何通过提高透明度和减少由私营部门更好地提供的服务等措施来提高可可部门的效率。可可海岸将成为政策制定者、发展专家和其他对不同国家发展道路感兴趣的人的宝贵资源。
After almost 20 years of declining cocoa production, Ghana has been able in the last decade to increase the share of export prices going to producers and more than double production. Contrary to Washington Consensus prescriptions, these accomplishments were achieved through reforms that did not include market liberalization. In The Cocoa Coast: The Board-Managed Cocoa Sector in Ghana, the authors identify factors that have contributed to Ghana’s success in cocoa production. These include the accountability of the government for the sector’s performance (cocoa-sector performance being seen as a key dimension of economic management), its interest in maintaining the ability to raise funds globally as a reliable supplier of high-quality cocoa, and its policy of retaining a portion of producer revenues to promote the adoption of yield-enhancing measures. The authors also suggest how Ghana can improve the efficiency of the cocoa sector through measures such as increased transparency and curtailing services that would be better provided by the private sector. The Cocoa Coast will be a valuable resource for policy makers, development specialists, and others interested in different national development paths.
