This study uses farm-level data from 386 Ghanaian pineapple farmers to examine the impact of adopting organic certification on the return on investment (ROI). The results indicate that both organic certification and GlobalGAP certification result in a positive ROI. However, organic certified farming yields a significantly higher ROI than GlobalGAP certified farmers, mainly due to the price premium on the organic market. Thus, the study concludes certified organic farming is found to be the more profitable venture.
