In addition, information was collected on the trading enterprise, general market conditions, price expectations, operational costs, and risk. In total 38 traders were surveyed between August to November 2013.

Purpose: The survey was set out to gain knowledge on trading behavior and stocking strategies of the respondents. There is little knowledge on the seasonal variation in commercial stock levels in many African countries. The main purpose of the survey was to record seasonal variation in stocks for the respondents over the past marketing year.</abstract><sumDscr><timePrd cycle="P1" event="start" date="2012-08-01">2012-08-01</timePrd><timePrd cycle="P1" event="end" date="2014-04-01">2014-04-01</timePrd><collDate cycle="P1" event="start" date="2014-11-18T00:00:00">2014-11-18T00:00:00</collDate><collDate cycle="P1" event="end" date="2014-11-18T00:00:00">2014-11-18T00:00:00</collDate><nation>Ghana</nation><geoBndBox><westBL>-3.427722157435042</westBL><eastBL>0.7910278419777032</eastBL><southBL>4.854534091898037</southBL><northBL>11.118040581260928</northBL></geoBndBox></sumDscr><notes>This dataset was first published on the institutional Repository "Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung: ZEF Data Portal" with ID={653c7ffb-1266-4fb7-8fa6-f066eb8c2cc7}.</notes></stdyInfo><method><dataColl><sources/></dataColl><anlyInfo/></method><dataAccs><setAvail/><useStmt/><notes type="DVN:TOU" level="dv">&lt;a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0">CC BY-SA 4.0&lt;/a></notes></dataAccs><othrStdyMat><othRefs>Linus Linnaeus Tannor, Benthil Akuahmoah, Hanan Abdullah</othRefs></othrStdyMat></stdyDscr><otherMat ID="f2658" URI="https://bonndata.uni-bonn.de/catalog/downloads/2658/metadata.xml" level="datafile"><labl>metadata.xml</labl><txt></txt><notes level="file" type="DATAVERSE:CONTENTTYPE" subject="Content/MIME Type">text/xml</notes></otherMat><otherMat ID="f2661" URI="https://bonndata.uni-bonn.de/catalog/downloads/2661/ReadMe_Variables.txt" level="datafile"><labl>ReadMe_Variables.txt</labl><txt></txt><notes level="file" type="DATAVERSE:CONTENTTYPE" subject="Content/MIME Type">text/plain</notes></otherMat><otherMat ID="f2660" URI="https://bonndata.uni-bonn.de/catalog/downloads/2660/Survey.PNG" level="datafile"><labl>Survey.PNG</labl><txt></txt><notes level="file" type="DATAVERSE:CONTENTTYPE" subject="Content/MIME Type">image/png</notes></otherMat><otherMat ID="f2659" URI="https://bonndata.uni-bonn.de/catalog/downloads/2659/SurveyData.csv" level="datafile"><labl>SurveyData.csv</labl><txt></txt><notes level="file" type="DATAVERSE:CONTENTTYPE" subject="Content/MIME Type">text/csv</notes></otherMat></codeBook>
