Farmers want swift implementation of policies to reduce cost

Farmers in Upper East and Upper West Regions of Ghana are demanding swift implementation of policies to reduce the cost of doing business in their regions. 

Their plea comes on a day when Ghana joins the globe to observe World Food Day. Some farmers say they are still dependent on weather to grow their crops and are suffering serious post-harvest losses. 

This year’s Food Day celebration focuses on how agricultural cooperatives and producer organizations can help provide food security, generate employment, and reduce poverty.
