Notes:
26 pages., Paper presented at the 2018 conference of the International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE), July 28-August 2, 2018, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada., Researchers assessed farmers' willingness to pay for a newly introduced digital nutrition-sensitive agricultural information service in Ghana, called Vodafone Farmers' Club (VFC). Findings suggested that farmers' willingness to pay for VFC service was high at low prices, then decreased rapidly as the price increased. Women had statistically lower willingness to pay than men, whether for agricultural information only or information involving both agriculture and nutrition.
