Abstract:
The goal of the study was to look into the variables affecting small-scale shea butter processors' access to innovation support services (ISS). 181 small-scale shea butter producers in 16 administrative districts in the Northern Region provided the study's data. According to the research, 88% of businesses had access to services that supported innovation. These services can be acquired through one's business or business group, clients, rival businesses, as well as suppliers. According to the results of the logistic regression model, a firm's ability to acquire support services for innovation is significantly influenced by its age, group membership, manager's sex, and manager's nationality. The model generated values for Pseudo-r-squared, Chi-square, and Prob > chi2 of 0.164, 21.274, and 0.031, respectively.
