Accra:Ahafo Region President John Dramani Mahama has described the Farmers Services Centres initiative under the Feed Ghana Programme as a potential game changer for Ghana's agriculture sector. During an inspection tour of the Asunafo North Farmers Services Centre, part of his two-day Resetting Ghana Tour of the Ahafo Region, the President emphasized the transformative impact these centers would have on agricultural practices nationwide.
According to Ghana News Agency, President Mahama asserted that once all 50 Farmers Services Centres become fully operational, they will revolutionize farming across the country. Each center will be equipped with mechanized agriculture equipment to support local farmers.
The initiative includes plans to establish 50 Farmers Services Centres in agricultural districts nationwide. The first of these facilities has been launched at Takoratwene in the Afram Plains in the Eastern Region. Currently, construction is underway for 15 of these centers, with plans to have them operational by the end of the first quarter of 2027, as stated by Mr. Eric Opoku, the Minister of Food and Agriculture.
