According to official statistics, the area annually planted to maize in Ghana currently averages about 650,000 ha (Table 1). Most of the maize grown in Ghana is cultivated in association with other crops, particularly in the coastal savannah and forest zones, so planting densities are generally low. Average grain yields of maize are correspondingly modest when expressed per unit land area, averaging less than 2 t/ha. Total annual maize production is currently estimated at just over 1 million tons. Both of the two key determinants of production (area planted and yield) have increased over the longer term, although the upward trends have been characterized by high year-to- year variability typical of rainfed. | Creating Markets for Renewable Energy Technologies EU RES Technology Marketing Campaign Bioethanol Production and Use SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME Supported by the European Commission - FP6 Brochure produced as part of the Project RESTMAC Project Coordinator EREC - European Renewable Energy Council Project Partners EWEA - European Wind Energy Association EPIA - European Photovoltaic Industry Association ESHA - European Small Hydropower Association AEBIOM - European Biomass Association EUBIA - European Biomass Industry Association EGEC - European Geothermal Energy Council ADEME - Agence de I Environnement et de la Maitrise de I Energie NTUA - National Technical University of Athens ECB - Energy Centre Bratislava GAIA - Consultores en gestion ambiental ESTIF - European Solar Thermal Industry Federation Contents Introduction p. 3 Bioethanol Production p. 4 1.
