Psychosocial factors influencing oyster mushroom commerciaisation in Ghana

Psychosocial factors are critical in spurring agricultural commercialization. The oyster mushroom is beneficial to Ghana's socio-economic development and has received attention from both the government and development partners to increase commercialization. While socioeconomic and demographic characteristics influencing agricultural commercialization have received a huge a scholarly attention, little is known, however, about the psychosocial factors that drive agricultural commercialization in general, and oyster mushroom commercialization in particular. The data was collected to be used to investigate the psychosocial factors such as motivations and impediments that influence oyster mushroom commercialization in Ghana, with emphasis on the Ga East and Adentan Municipalities in the Greater Accra region of Ghana.

社会心理因素是推动农业商业化的核心驱动因素。平菇（oyster mushroom）有益于加纳的社会经济发展，因此受到政府与各发展伙伴的高度关注，以推进其商业化进程。尽管学界已对影响农业商业化的社会经济与人口特征展开了大量研究，但目前针对一般性农业商业化，尤其是平菇商业化的驱动型社会心理因素，仍缺乏足够的认知。本数据集的采集旨在探究加纳境内影响平菇商业化的各类社会心理因素（包括驱动动机与制约阻碍），研究区域聚焦于加纳大阿克拉地区（Greater Accra Region）的加东（Ga East）与阿登坦（Adentan）市政区。
