Sorry for answer your question so late. I hope you still need that information. In Brazil just 9,3% of the farmers in general have access to rural extension services, 12,8% have occasionally and 77,8% don't have access of any kind of services. That information refers to research made at 2006 by IBGE, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. See more information at: ..
The number of farmers who do not have access to the rural extension service (IBGE, 2006 - the same source) show the geographical inequality in the country: 51.55% in the south (richer), 69.31% in the Southeast, 69.99% in the Midwest, 84.55% in the North and 91.62% in the Northeast (the poorest).
The rural extension as a Brazilian social service shown a paradoxical use of public financial resource. More service to richers and less service for needy and poor farmers.
In Ghana in general the farmers do have access to extension, if only there are financial means available to them. Farmers can acquire extra land to develop and cultivate it.
