John Atsu Agbolosoo (PhD w)
With ten years of professional experience in project management and agricultural research in Sub-Saharan Africa, I have enhanced farming techniques, optimized agricultural processes, and conducted pivotal research. My work has contributed to the development of sustainable agricultural systems, bridging the gap between theory and practice to foster innovation in agribusiness throughout the continent.
I have authored several research articles, including studies on entrepreneurial behavioral skills among smallholders, the choice of honey producer market outlets in Rwanda, sustainable supply chain management in the Agri-palm Industry, environmental impact assessment of small-scale oil palm cultivation in Ghana, and factors influencing Indonesia's cocoa exports.
I am proficient in both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis, utilizing tools such as STATA, Microsoft Excel, SPSS, E-Views, and SAS.
