Description
This paper seeks to present a proposed linear programming model to determine the best hectare allocation for optimum crop production to ensure food security and reduce poverty among farmers in the region. Five selected crops in fifteen sampled communities in the Brong Ahafo Region were used for this study. The net income per hectare for each crop was used in formulating the objective function and data on available arable land, mean annual rainfall and the area cultivated constitutes the constraints. The revised simplex scheme was employed to determine optimal basic variables.
