Tema Mayor presenting a certificate to the Overall Best Farmer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TEMA
\nTRADITIONAL Council has expressed disgust over illegal and unregulated fishing
\nby foreign trawlers in the country.<\/p>\n

According
\nto the council, the practice is decimating the country\u2019s fish populations and
\naffecting the economy.<\/p>\n

Nii Adjetey
\nAgbo II, Mankralo of the Tema Traditional Council who poured out his anger
\nduring 35th Farmers\u2019 Day celebration in Tema, of the Greater Accra Region,
\nfeared the illegal activities especially by industrial trawlers, could deplete the
\ncountry\u2019s fish stock.<\/p>\n

He appealed
\nto government to pay much attention to fishing activities in the area since
\nfishing is far ahead of crop farming in the district.<\/p>\n

Seven
\nfarmers and fishermen were awarded by the Tema Metropolitan Assembly for their
\noutstanding contribution to agriculture in the metropolis.<\/p>\n

The seven
\nfarmers made up of best livestock farmers, best crop farmers, best fisher
\nfarmers and best extension officer, were given certificates, household items,
\nfarming implements among others.<\/p>\n

Mohammed
\nEshun, a Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) station officer around the
\nTema Fishing Harbour emerged the overall best farmer in Tema, receiving a motor
\ntricycle, plasma television, knapsack sprayer, a wheelbarrow, wax print, five
\npieces of cutlasses, bottles of agro chemicals, certificate among others.<\/p>\n

He is into the
\ncultivation of maize, cassava, sugarcane, pepper, onion, okro, plantain, among
\nothers. He also rears livestock such as sheep, local birds, snails, crabs,
\nguinea fowl, etc.<\/p>\n

Dora
\nAnkrah, the Tema Metropolitan Director of Agriculture, said crop production
\nperformed creditably compared to the previous year as the fertilizer subsidy
\nunder the government\u2019s flagship \u201cPlanting for Food and Jobs\u201d programme saw
\nsignificant increase.<\/p>\n

Metropolitan
\nChief Executive (MCE) of Tema, Felix Mensah Annan-La, said that 700 farmers in
\nthe metropolis had benefited from the subsidized hybrid maize seeds, Open
\nPollinated Variety (OPV) seeds as well as vegetable seeds.<\/p>\n

Also, he stated that 1,072 farmers had benefited from 4,500 bags of NPK and Urea fertilizers with other interventions rolled out through Adepa, E-master and Agoo to the infestation of the fall army worm in the metropolis.<\/p>\n
