In an interview with Accra-based Okay FM, monitored by Adomonline.com<\/strong>, the 2019 national best farmer advised the youth not to rely solely on white collar jobs for their livelihood, but to also venture into agriculture as the sector is increasingly becoming very lucrative. <\/p>\n

\u201cI urge the youth to go into farming and not rely on white collar jobs only, farming is now \u2018sweet\u2019 and they will derive lots of benefits from it and so will the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Aside being a farmer, Mr Gyamfi, works as a court registrar.\n<\/p>\n

Talking about his decision to become a farmer, Mr Gyamfi explained that, he didn\u2019t want to become a financial burden to his family during his pension as was the case of those before him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to go into farming after noticing that, people
\nwho had been court registrars for years were suffering financially during their
\npension and I didn\u2019t want that for myself, hence my decision to go into serious
\nfarming,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Mr Gyamfi, in his 25 years of farming, has established vast plantations of roots and timber as well as livestock, and can boast of 10 acres of cassava, four acres of yam, 20 acres of cocoyam, 16.5 acres of garden eggs, 500 acres of cocoa, 10 acres of oil palm, 30 acres of plantain, 25 acres of citrus and 70 acres of cashew.<\/p>\n
