MCC’s $536.3 million Ghana Compact (2007-2012) funded the $188.7 million Agriculture Project, which included the Irrigation Activity and Post-Harvest Activity that aimed to increase the production of high-value crops by building and rehabilitating irrigation schemes, constructing post-harvest infrastructure, and improving public sector capacity. The theory was that reduced post-harvest losses and improved crop productivity would increase agricultural profitability and enhance the competitiveness of Ghanaian agricultural products in both domestic and international markets.
