Generating higher incomes through CSIR-CRI improved Varieties J.Osei-Adu, P.P.Achampong,B.O. Asante, J.Halegoah,B.N. Frimpong and A. Adu-Appiah Introduction The high incidence of poverty among small scale farmers can be partly attributed to their limited use of CSIR-CRI improved varieties. The difference in yield between CSIR-CRI improved varieties and the farmers local variety is very wide such that farmers lose potential income by not adopting CSIR-CRI Improved varieties. Returns from CSIR-CRI Improved varieties is much higher than cultivating the farmers own local varieties.

Objectives The main objective of the study was to estimate the potential benefits in adopting improved CSIR-CRI varieties. The specific objectives were to; Estimate potential returns from CSIR-CRI improved varieties Perform sensitivity analysis taking increased cost and post harvest losses into account

Methodology Potential achievable yields were adjusted downwards and cost of production of CSIR-CRI released varieties upwards by 10% coefficient factor Average potential benefits were estimated using agricultural commodity prices from the Agricultural facts and figures, 2010 document and adjusted yields. Gross Margin (GM) and Marginal Analysis were used in estimating returns Sensitivity Analysis was also used to estimate potential returns, taking into account post harvest losses and increased in production cost

Sensitivity Analysis

Marginal Analysis

Conclusion CSIR-CRI improved varieties have higher returns and is highly recommended. Extension needs to intensify its dissemination and training programmes to help farmers realize the potential returns from CSIR-CRI improved varieties Poverty among small scale farmers will be alleviated by adopting CSIR-CRI Improved varieties
