Bro there is something wrong in the mind of our leaders we pick every 4yrs or the education systems have expired.
Senseless, nonsense and stupidity is the competition our leaders are engaging in.
Look at Jdm touring now at Darko Awuah farms for a visit instead of taking action because he has been previously in this big position.

Can someone please enlighten me.

Mahatma please minimize importation of food that can be produced by our own people to feed ourselves
Depending on imported basic food is very disgraceful as a sovereign nation

Does your eyes hate beautiful graphics that much?
Probably you need a Mahama care for a special eye service.

Our president should also visit cocoa farms to encourage them them not to give up cocoa farming because he has reduced the producer price of cocoa.

@Osei are you guys not tired of spewing this lie over and over again.The President does not fix Cocoa prices for farmers; prices are determined by how much is made on the world market so naturally if prices go up farmers get more and if prices drop farmers get less. Basic economics.

The problem as usual with local farm produce is how competitive the prices are as compared to imported rice. The government needs to intervene with subsidies for the inputs like fertilizers, seeds and pesticides.

Good idea, but the fears is opening our boarders for cheap foreign products. I don't know what has become of a similar soybean oil processing enterprise that was established in Techiman under former President Kufour. The president was equally taken round the facility like JM was. I don't however know the status of the facility today as soyabean farmers are struggling to break even in the presence of flooded foreign cooking oils in our markets. Hope JM gives his utmost support to the entrepreneur.

This is laudable. It should be replicated for tomato farming, so that we have year round tomato production, and stop relying on Bourkina Faso.

You should've said the same thing at the Nkokonkitinkiti launch when the President was hosted by Chicken Man, a well known NPP sympathizer. Ditch you rabid politics and embrace nationalism kakra wai.

@Horizon, yes Kwame Awuah Darko is NDC, what has this got to do with his farming unless you want to say he stole State funds as a Politician to farm.The farm did not start just yesterday, it has being in existence even under NPP's shambolic 8 year rule. Don't bring yourself.

Assuming this is the same Awua Darko who successfully managed BOST and TOR, his track record suggests we are in for strong, effective leadership. To the workers, please remember the lessons of the Aveyime Rice project—let’s not allow internal issues to undermine our progress. If you are unsatisfied with your conditions, I urge you to choose dialogue over confrontation. I believe he is a fair leader who values his team, so let’s work together through communication rather than discord.

Congratulations Kwame. I hope and pray that other Ghanaians will for follow suit. We have to be self sufficient in rice, poultry, fish, vegetables and fruits production. Those stopping us from importing tomatoes are encouraging us to take farming seriously. The little we have they are all here in their numbers eating with us. May the good Lord continue to guide and protect us. Wish you well my Boss.

How many such large scale farms do we have?? What plans has the Government to assist large scale farming?? Have we identified Ghanas strategic crops and where they grow best?? What about the VOLTA LAKE as a major source of water for irrigation nationwide ?? Visiting and publicity is good. But it will take proper realistic planning with incentives. I hope somebody is listening !!!!
