Akuffo-Addo Launches Phase II of Planting for Food and Jobs Programme: Emphasizing Holistic Approach
President Akuffo-Addo has unveiled the highly anticipated Phase II of the Planting for Food and Jobs programme, signaling a renewed commitment to bolstering Ghana’s agricultural sector.
In a recent announcement, Akuffo-Addo highlighted that this new phase is strategically designed to adopt a holistic approach that prioritizes the entire agricultural value chain.
The first phase of the programme saw substantial success in increasing food production and reducing food imports.
Building on this momentum, the second phase aims to elevate the initiative by concentrating on value chain strategies.
This signifies a crucial shift from mere cultivation to encompassing post-harvest processes, distribution, and market access.
Akufo-Addo’s emphasis on the value chain approach demonstrates his administration’s dedication to ensuring sustainability and growth within the agricultural sector.
By focusing on each aspect of the agricultural journey, from farm to table, Ghana aims to secure food security, empower local farmers, and boost economic development.
The launch of Phase II marks a milestone in Ghana’s agricultural journey, reaffirming the nation’s commitment to not only producing more food but also fostering a resilient and self-sufficient agricultural ecosystem.
