ABSTRACT
Agriculture is the backbone of most African countries. In Ghana it contributes
immensely to the gross domestic product and it employs about 60% of the Country’s
labour force, however the agricultural sector in the country is underdeveloped and mainly
rain fed. Hence variability of rainfall affects crop production in the country.
In spite of the variability of rainfall in the country and as a matter of fact, in the Keta
District, farmers have resorted to some coping and adaptive strategies to overcome this
problem. This study determined the nature of rainfall in the Keta District and its effect
on agricultural production. The results obtained revealed that rainfall in the Keta District
is scanty and variable and this has a great influence on production. For this problem to be
solved, mechanized irrigation must be used by the mass though this technology has its
accompanying problems. It was therefore recommended that future research should focus
on the feasibility of extensive irrigation in the Keta District
