Abstract
This paper investigates the factors that influence market participation in rural
economies. This is based on the premise that participation in the market is an important
channel through which the global economy impacts on the rural areas and can have a
positive impact on poverty reduction through increased incomes. A case study approach
is adopted using four rural communities in three ecological zones of Ghana.
