The Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) has released 25,000 bags of fertiliser for immediate distribution to all the 413 schools registered and participating in the Feed Ghana Programme.

This intervention is part of the Ministry’s effort to support the ongoing Minor Season crop production and ensure sustained agricultural productivity across the country. 

The fertiliser support is to enhance crop yields and strengthen the contribution of school farms, particularly those operated by primary, junior and senior high schools, to national food and nutrition security.

The Minister of Food and Agriculture, Mr Eric Opoku has directed the Feed Ghana Programme Coordinator in charge of Institutional Farming to ensure the immediate distribution of the fertiliser to all beneficiary schools. 

A statement dated Tuesday [Oct 21] issued by MoFA said the Ministry was committed to providing the necessary agricultural inputs and technical assistance under the Feed Ghana Programme, which forms a key pillar of the Agriculture for Economic Transformation Agenda (AETA).
