Agricultural Manufacturing Group Limited – AMG, a leading indigenous importer and distributor of Fertilizer in Ghana has launched a month long intensive sensitization program in partnership with the PBC LTD the leader in internal marketing of Cocoa in the Ashanti region of Ghana.
According to Mr. Henry Otoo-Mensah General Manager of AMG, the training workshop is a unique program initiated by the company in partnership with PBC Ltd to sensitize cocoa farmers on fertilizer application and also increase their knowledge on the good agronomic practices for increased yield.
This is essential to AMG’s farmer-centric approach that is focused on farmers - improving their yield and profitability.
We do not believe in just selling fertilizers and other inputs but essentially being close and interactive with farmers, engaging them intimately, identifying their needs and tailoring the right solutions to address those needs.
This training workshop will also afford us the opportunity to drum home the unique properties and nutritional value to various farmers within the selected communities the General Manager further explained.
The sensitization program which includes AMG, Enepa Ventures and PBC LTD commences on the 9th of July at Juaso in the Asante Akyem south district of the Ashanti region and will span a month period through to the 7th of August, 2019.
The program will include series of insightful workshops across 19 cocoa growing districts where the AMG and PBC team are expecting to interact with over 1900 cocoa farmers at all the various district levels.
We are inspired by government’s policy to assist cocoa farmers increase their production levels which all means requires the right input. Hence our partnership with AMG to ensure cocoa farmers have the best to improve their yield.
PBC being the largest buyer of cocoa with distribution points everywhere basically, we took it upon ourselves to partner with AMG and thus ensure every cocoa farmer has Cocoa Nti to apply on their farms invariably.
What we want is that at the end of the training campaign, cocoa farmers acquire requisite knowledge on fertilizer application that will enable them increase their yield so that we at PBC LTD can also buy more from them so that in the end their lives will be improved.
We entreat every cocoa farmer to patronise Cocoa Nti, one of the best fertilizers suitable for cocoa production in Ghana now. Mr. Samuel Owusu-Acheaw. Head of Marketing and Research, PBC LTD intimated.
