Tamale To Host 2018 Farmers Day

The 34th edition of the National Farmer's Day has been launched with a call on all stakeholders to collaborate to make the sector more vibrant.

This year’s (2018) event which will be held in Tamale in the Northern Region is on the theme, “Agriculture, Moving Ghana Beyond Aid”.

Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia speaking at the launch said Ghana still lacks a sustainable agricultural plan to make her an agricultural hub in the sub region.

He said government recognising this lapse, has introduced a number of initiatives to position the sector well to compete effectively stressing that the Planting for Food and Jobs initiative attests to government commitment to move the country beyond aid.

He charged organisers of the event to rise to the occasion and make the celebration a memorable one as the Northern Region holds a lot of prospects for investment.
