Statement issued in Hamburg by the Chair-Lady, Madam Esther Grobbe, made an appeal to the Government to re-consider the hardships being experienced by some of these Farmers. Special emphasis was however made to adopting modern methods of agriculture practices to help enhance natural food security.

She further urged the NDC Government to recognize and adhere to constructive criticism towards the Farmers 'grievances as they constitute the back-bones of the Nation's economy besides remittances from the Ghanaians in the Diaspora.
