He said pragmatic policies and programmes had been put in place by his ministry to ensure that Ghana produce sufficient food for both local consumption and export.

Mr Ahwoi urged farmers in the country to take advantage of the numerous facilities government had provided to improve upon their farming activities and their living conditions.

Present were Mr Kwame Peprah, a former Minister of Finance, Mrs Betty Mould Iddrisu, Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Mr Kojo Yankah, former Minister of Ashanti Region.
