Tom (B/A), April 27, GNA - The people of Tom, a farming community in the Nkoranza District of Brong Ahafo have commended the Adventist Relief and Development Agency (ADRA) for assisting them to improve their socio-economic activities.

Mr Adu Baffoe, a citizen and cashew farmer told Ghana News Agency ADRA had assisted about 40 cashew farmers to expand their farms to realize better yield.
