“…A survey of members of the Namoi Cotton Cooperative was undertaken to obtain relevant data from individual producers to determine the aggregate benefits from the use of the Cottonfields Weather Service. The details of the survey are described in a companion paper (Anaman & Lellyett, 1996). The survey elicited information from producers about the reduction in their unit costs of production attributable solely to use of the Cottonfields Weather Service.…”

“…to use of Cottonfields Weather Service was derived from a survey of producers conducted in the 1994/95 production year (Anaman & Lellyett, 1996). The average unit cost reduction due to the use of the service derived from that survey was A$16.71 per hectare.…”

“…Rather, they are charged only the incremental cost involved in extracting, interpreting and packaging the data into forms of information meaningful to users. In order to estimate the 'true' economic value of the service to individual users, a contingent valuation approach was utilised as part of the survey conducted in 199411995 described in the companion paper (Anaman & Lellyett, 1996). Users were asked to state the maximum amounts of money they would be willing to pay to have year-round full access to the service.…”

“…Thus, the costs were indirectly estimated based on elicited information from users concerning the frequency of use and average length of call. Since about 87% of non-users actually owned a fax machine at the time of the survey (refer to Anaman & Lellyett, 1996), it was argued that the fixed costs of the fax machine could not be charged to the cost of the service since apparently the machine was bought for many other purposes such as collecting price outlook information.…”

We undertook a study that evaluated the public weather services used by people working in the formal services sector of the Ghana based in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. The study employed randomly-sampling survey technique to request information from 102 respondents on their use of services and information produced by the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet), the country's official producer and archival of meteorological data, information, products and services. The results of the analysis of survey data indicated that virtually all the respondents used public weather services produced by GMet. The users generally considered the quality of the public weather services to be of moderate quality. Using the contingent valuation method to ascertain the economic value of public weather services, 87.7% of the respondents were prepared to pay for the public weather services rather than be without them. The average WTP per person per month was 16.67 Ghana cedis per month or 200.04 Ghana cedis per year or 51.96 United States dollars per year. The aggregate economic value, based on only the users of public weather services in the formal services sector of Accra, who constitute just about 2.1% of the total work force of Ghana, is over four times the value of the annual budget provided by the Government of Ghana to GMet in 2016. Users in the formal services sector wanted GMet to produce more locality-specific weather forecasts and services with advance warning times. Further the information from the Agency needs to be distributed and publicised by the mass media through radio and television including the emerging and fast growing local languagebased mass media on hourly basis rather than the current system where they are supplied to the general public once a day via the evening television news through the English-language radio and TV channels.
