Government has announced an expansion of its national food security initiatives as part of efforts to strengthen agricultural productivity and improve access to affordable food across the country.<\/p>\r\n
The programme seeks to support farmers through improved access to inputs, extension services, mechanisation support, irrigation facilities, and modern farming technologies.<\/p>\r\n
Agriculture remains one of Ghana’s most important economic sectors, providing employment for millions of people while contributing significantly to national food supply and export earnings.<\/p>\r\n
Officials say recent global economic uncertainties have highlighted the importance of increasing domestic food production and reducing reliance on imported food products.<\/p>\r\n
The expanded initiative will focus on staple crops including maize, rice, cassava, yam, and vegetables.<\/p>\r\n
Farmers participating in the programme are expected to benefit from training opportunities aimed at improving productivity and climate resilience.<\/p>\r\n
Agricultural experts believe that investing in local production can help stabilise food prices while creating additional employment opportunities for young people.<\/p>\r\n
The programme will also promote agribusiness development by encouraging value addition and processing activities.<\/p>\r\n
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the announcement, describing agriculture as a critical pillar of Ghana’s long-term economic transformation strategy.<\/p>\r\n
The government says strengthening food security remains a national priority as it works to ensure stable food supplies and sustainable rural development.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
