^{page 167 note 2} This was more serious in the case of oilseeds, but was substantial for cocoa as well. In all fairness it must be admitted that losses were considered to be at least as likely as profits because the shipping problem was overstressed.

^{page 169 note 2} The rates ranged from 10 per cent with f.o.b. prices of under £120, to 40 per cent at £300, with the marginal rate hitting 100 per cent at £260.

^{page 170 note 1} The issues of stabilisation and 100 per cent pay-out should be separated. One can pay out 100 per cent with no effort at even intra-seasonal price fluctuation damping, or set a permanent grower price estimated to produce a less-than-100 per cent pay-out. Logically, decisions on controlling price changes and retaining a portion of cocoa receipts for non-individual grower use are quite separate.

^{page 172 note 1} The details of the swollen shoot campaign are open to severe criticism; however, determined and successful action was undertaken. Hesitation between alternative courses, in search of an ideal, might have allowed the industry to vanish while its future strength was still being debated.

^{page 172 note 2} The Report of the Commission of Inquiry into the Affairs of the Cocoa Purchasing Co. Ltd. (Accra, 1956) outlines C.P.C. history in some detail, but takes a rather unrealistic view of Government and ruling-party relationships to statutory bodies anywhere.Google Scholar

^{page 180 note 2} This is not to imply that growth cannot be generated by such sectors—the Ghanaian experience of 1947–59 demonstrates to the contrary—but that it is uncertain. The falling off of cocoa prices after 1959 made Ghana’s growth rate much more difficult to sustain.

^{page 181 note 1} The question here is not one of private versus public ownership. A government-owned industry must show a surplus (or profit) if it is to expand without additional inflows of funds.
