As yesterday 6th December 2019 marked the annual celebration of Farmers’ Day in Ghana, Ghanaian actor cum Politician John Dumelo took the opportunity to advise the youth on the benefits of engaging in Agriculture.
Taking to his Instagram page, John Dumelo explained that Farming is not a “fast money making” venture rather its a steady process that involves a lot of patience and commitment.
According to John Dumelo, agriculture has changed the economy of most countries who have invested in it.

John Dumelo wrote ;
” I’m a proud farmer. I have snails, cattle, goats, pigs and grasscutters. I also grow maize on acres of land to sell and also to feed the grasscutters and pigs.
“Farming is a very lucrative business, it has its ups and downs but eventually it’s very rewarding. Farming is not really about working hard, it’s about working smart. What and when you sow will determine what you reap. My advice to the youth, let’s all get involved in agriculture.
It’s not an avenue to make fast money but it’s an avenue to grow steadily in wealth at the same time feeding yourself and the nation. Happy farmers day! ”
Well, we hope the youth take his advice seriously because after all if you are broke and you have a farmland, you can go and harvest some cassava and some “Kontomire” and make some “Ampesie” and even if its tasteless, you can proudly say you are eating the fruits of your labour.
