Tis year's National Best Farmer would win a three-bedroom house donated by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
A statement issued in Accra on Friday quoted the Minister, Major Courage Quashigah (rtd) as saying the cost of the house would be borne by the Agricultural Development Bank.
This is the first time a house is being donated as a prize for the National Best Farmer award. Top prizes in the previous years have been tractors and pick-up vehicles.
The Minister praised the positive role ADB is playing to complement the efforts of government towards achieving food security.
He appealed to companies and organisations to support the hard working farmers by donating generously towards the celebration.
The National Farmers Day has been instituted to honour farmers and fishermen for their contribution towards the economic and social development of the country.
