Vegetables can make an important contribution to food and nutritional security and can enhance livelihood of marginal and smallholders due to their high farmgate values per unit land area. Besides their economic, nutritional and medicinal importance, traditional African vegetables are considered valuable because of their ability to fit into year-round production systems. A study was undertaken within the humid tropics zone of the cocoa belt of Ghana to identify the potential for vegetable integration and diversification into cocoa-based farming systems. Field surveys involving stratified randomized 788 vegetable producer respondents were selected from cocoa growing areas of the Ashanti and Western Regions of Ghana. The elicited\n quantitative data was complimented with focus group discussions and field observations. A sizable number of farmers integrated vegetables into cocoa production either on separate fields or on the fringes of their cocoa farms. A major constraint is lack of farmer access to high quality improved vegetable seed cultivars. Additionally, diversification of cocoa farming households into vegetables constitutes an important agricultural livelihood diversification strategy. Together, these will contribute to diversifying\n household income and nutritional related Sustainable Development Goals. The knowledge of production, utilisation patterns as well as current government focus on vegetables and related bottlenecks will provide policy makers opportunity to address them.
