All is set for the launching of the President's Special Initiative on Cassava Project (PSICP) by President John Agyekum Kufuor, on Friday, at Awutu-Bawjiase in the Central Region.
More than 3,000 farmers in and around the area have already registered for the project, which is designed to produce starch for export.
Over 6 million US Dollars have been voted for the project. Capt. Stephen Kobina Armah, District Chief Executive for Awutu Effutu-Senya, speaking to the GNA after meeting the chiefs and other stakeholders at Awutu Bawjiase on Wednesday to finalise arrangements, advised the people to help make the project a success.
He commended the chiefs for their unity and co-operation and called on them to mobilise the people to participate in the launching.
