Mr Donkor appealed to graduates of Agriculture Colleges to register with the \u201cPlanting for Food and Jobs\u201d initiative in their respective districts to enable the country to achieve the annual growth target.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Philip Akator, Adaklu District Director of Agriculture said where food supplies failed to expand in pace with the growing demand, the result was likely to be a substantial rise in food prices.<\/p>\n<p>He said there was, therefore, the need for sustainable and responsible investment in agriculture to boost food production to match the galloping population growth and also create business opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Togbe Gbogbi Atsa V, Paramount Chief of Adaklu who chaired the function said the menace of Fulani Herdsmen in the area was affecting farming in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. John Kwakume, 64, a native of Tedeafenu won the Best District Farmer award and was presented with a motorbike, two pairs of Wellington boots, two spraying machines, three cutlasses three bars of key soap, radio set, a piece of cloth and a certificate.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 33 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Wednesday, 6 December 2017 Source: ghananewsagency.org 2017-12-06 File photo Mr. Kadey Phanuel Donkor, the Adaklu District Chief Executive has expressed worry over the \u201clackadaisical\u201d attitude of farmers in the district towards government\u2019s policy of Planting for Food and Jobs.
