Farming is my life; I love it, and it will be my retirement plan – Mahama

President-Elect John Dramani Mahama has disclosed that farming remains central to his life and will be his primary focus upon retirement.

He referred to farming as his life and retirement plan.

Mahama made the remarks during a visit to his farm in Yapei and Busunu in the Savannah region.

“Farming is my life. I love it, and I’m sure if I didn’t go into politics, I would have been a full-time farmer,” he revealed.

“In any case, when I retire, after this stint, of course, I’m going to go into full-time farming. If you want to see me, you’ll have to come to the farm.”

Mahama is currently into crop farming and livestock.

On the crop side, Mahama’s farm produces maize and soybean, supplying directly to Asutuare farms for poultry feed.

“We started with 300 goats and other small ruminants, and now we’ve grown to almost 500, with another 200 animals added recently. It’s looking positive,” he said, noting plans to expand into sheep and cattle farming.

“This is not just a business; it’s a way of life for me. It’s therapeutic and fulfilling to work on the farm,” Mahama added.
