Government Seeks Support From Investors For Its Policies

In order to make Ghana's industrialization agenda a reality, the ruling NPP government is counting on support from investors to drive government's policies.

In this regard, the Kwahu Afram Plains South District Chief Executive (DCE) Mr George Ofori, has appealed to investors to support government's agriculture and industrialization policies to ensure their success.

Speaking at a forum at Samanhyia, he urged the investors to consider some areas of investment such as sale of agricultural inputs such as improved seeds and agrochemicals, provision of storage and warehousing facilities, agro-processing industries for value addition and fish processing and marketing.

Mr Ofori cautioned farmers to stop the misuse of agro-chemicals on their produce because it poses a great danger to the health of unsuspecting consumers especially in an era when people are been encouraged to eat what we grow locally.

He said as the harmattan season sets in, the assembly through the Agriculture Department would continue to provide the needed solutions and technology to mitigate the challenges faced in farming to help increase yields.

He therefore appealed to commercial and rural banks to make it easy for hardworking farmers to access credit for their farming businesses in the district.
