Begoro (E/R), Oct. 9, GNA – The Fanteakwa
North District Assembly through the Member of Parliament for the area, Mr
Kenneth Assiamah are in talks with a Chinese firm to establish a factory in the
district.
This would bring the numbers of factories to
be established in the district under the One District One Factory policy of the
government to three.
This was disclosed by Mr Charles
Oware-Tweneboa, the Fanteakwa North District Chief Executive, in an interview
with the Ghana News Agency at Begoro.
He said the cassava and wood processing
factories that are to be established in the district under the policy are at
various stages of completion and would soon start operation.
Mr Oware- Tweneboah called for the recruitment
of more Agriculture Extension Agents to help transform agriculture in the
district.
He said, due to the various government
programmes and policies on agriculture, there has been a surge in farming
activities in the district, hence the need for more agricultural extension
officers to support farmers to increase their yields.
Mr Oware –Tweneboah said farming methods keep
changing and farmers must be updated regularly on the changing trends.
He said some farmers are not aware of new
seedlings and farm practices especially in the application of fertilizer and
other agro-chemicals that help to increase crop yields.
